Agen to host Foulées du Petit Bleu running event

The Foulées du Petit Bleu running event is scheduled to take place in Agen on Sunday, September 13. Approximately 2,500 participants are expected to attend the event, which features various distances including a 5 km, 10 km, and a half marathon.

The half marathon course has been modified to remove a section under a tunnel near the departmental council due to security concerns. Instead, runners will follow a loop through Passage-d’Agen via Boulevard Général-de-Gaulle and the canal before crossing the canal bridge.

Organizers have introduced a 150 euro prize for any participant who breaks existing course records. The event aims to bring together elite athletes and recreational runners in the unique landscape of Agen.
