the children's race
The Foulées de la Liberté and its 4,000 children from Caen's schools open the festivities for a weekend of sport and conviviality. The event is organized in conjunction with Caen's Sports Department.
Every year, the children support a charity through their participation. In 2027, the children will participate to benefit the charity Les Fées Papillons , which works at the regional level to support sick children. It supports children weakened by illness and their families, while also raising awareness about bone marrow donation, blood donation, and platelet donation. The organization also collaborates with the oncology and hematology department at Caen University Hospital and the pediatric departments at surrounding hospitals.
Registration for the Foulées is organized by the City of Caen in collaboration with local schools.
