La Strasbourgeoise 2024: what you need to know to join the race against breast cancer

More than 12,000 participants are taking part in the “La Strasbourgeoise” race against cancer this Sunday, October 6. A big pink wave that changes the traffic in Strasbourg.

The start time is set at 9am from Quai du Général Koenig in Strasbourg for the 5 kilometer race. But since it was created in 2010, participants do not wait until the last minute to get to the starting point. Because activities are organized in the waiting area to warm the body and the atmosphere.

And 12,000 people on the starting line will take place. So whether it’s runners, friends and families who have come to support, or walkers, it’s best to avoid the area from 8am onwards. The area is marked anyway, and several volunteers and police are stationed throughout the courseboth to lead the race, but also to prevent access to any vehicle.

So the 5 kilometers start from the Quai du Général-Koenig, past the University of Strasbourg, and then reach the hyper-center through the Quai des Bateliers, before waiting for Petite France. Finally the race returns via rue du Vieux-marché-aux-poissons and rue des Grandes Arcades to Place Kléber. The 5 kilometer walk will start at 9:45am.

Movements will be applied, especially Porte de l’Hôpital, rue de l’Abreuvoir, rue du Général-Zimmer or rue Munch.

This Sunday, tram lines A and D will be suspended from 9am to 10:15am. between Grand’Rue and Etoile Bourse stations. There are eleven car parks open in the Eurometropolis, they offer parking for the day as well as a round trip for vehicle occupants for €4.20 (up to seven people). The Parcus P1 Commerces car park near the UGC is accessible for free this Sunday.

Since its creation in 2010, La Strasbourgeoise has made it possible to give more 572 098 € in the fight against breast cancer.
