The announcement fell on social networks on Thursday, June 2. Finally, the RuN’range will take place without a half-marathon this year. However, the event, which was launched in 2019, was immediately full and the participants were won over by the setting and the atmosphere. Even in 2021, despite a demanding health protocol, the edition had been maintained and had attracted more than 500 runners.
“It had been hot and we had given up on the forest because of the stinging caterpillars”, underlines Sébastien Spir, the president of the club and founder of the event. But two weeks from the top, he had to make up his mind. “We only had 20 people on the semi, we couldn’t afford to keep it because we would have mobilized thirty more signalmen. I think that the triathlon scheduled in Basse-Ham the next day overshadowed us, but also the races that were added without forgetting that this is the general trend: the organizers are recording a significant drop in registrations, as during the Bullfight in Malling. »
