Long awaited, the date of the next Route du Louvre is now known, it will take place on Sunday May 19. On the register of changes, this meeting has long become unmissable which attracted nearly 13,000 participants over the different distances last year, will not take place over the weekend but on Sunday May 19 alone.
There is a clear reason for this since the day before the last Ligue 1 championship match between Lens and Montpellier will be played at Bollaert-Delelis, and the Athletics League was not able to find another date in a calendar. already loaded. Project manager of the Route du Louvre, Jean-Pierre Watelle, director of the Regional Athletics League, specifies: “ This will be focused on one day… for now. We had thought regarding May 12, but that was not possible and with the match, we cannot organize races on Saturday. And then we remove the half marathon from the program, we hadn’t planned to keep it anyway in order to concentrate on the marathon and the 10 km. »
A date that will not only make people happy since the weekend of May 19 is also that of the Black Pyramids trail, an event organized by Mission Bassin Minier and also part of the regional sporting landscape and scheduled for Saturday. Last year’s edition attracted 1,300 trailers. Gilles Briand, one of the organizers, puts up a brave face: “ It’s a different profile of runners but with an additional organizational constraint. »
