Between them, they have 14 victories on the Strides. Except last minute registration, Julie Chuberre (9) and Sylvain Dodé (5) will naturally be favorites to their own succession, this Saturday, June 25.
At men’s
Sylvain Dode. He won the 10 km of the Chartres half-marathon without suffering too much, in March, in a time of 29’50. At 36, the member of the A3 Tours, 5 victories on the counter on the Strides (2010, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021), will be the big favorite.
Nicholas Valentine. The winner of the last Chartres half-marathon (ahead of Saïd Lazaar) goes down to the format below. The member of Orsay-Gif (Essonne) posted a good 30’47 this year over the distance, at the French championship in Boulogne-sur-Mer (Pas-de-Calais).
David Barral. The Loiret from Saran Loiret AC has solid references and will be a formidable opponent for Dodé. Winner of the Cacienne (Loiret) in 29’55, May 15.
Foulées de la Cathédrale and Foulées Roses: entertainment all afternoon, Saturday, in Chartres
Brieuc de Kersabiec. The Aclam junior (18) is not complex. 2nd in the 5 km of the Chartres half-marathon, the one who has just broken his record over 3,000 steeples will strive to make his speed speak for itself.
David Vedrine. He’s the underdog. The one we do not expect because passed outside the radar. Master 3, David Védrine has no real references since 2005 (30’56 over 10 km). The Orléanais nevertheless won the Foulées du Populaire, a stage of the Centrefrance running tour, in the more recent past (2019).
Courses, activities… All you need to know about the Foulées de la Cathédrale and the Foulées roses de Chartres
In women
Julie Chuberre-Dode. A doubt hovered over his participation. But, recovering from her fall on the bike a fortnight ago, will the nine-time winner of the event be in condition to win a 10th title? This is the whole question that will be asked this evening for the member of the A3 Tours, engaged yesterday in the very last moments.
Anais de Cock. She is Julie Chuberre’s main rival. From the height of her 30 years, the member of ES Jouy-Saint-Prest, with her 37’28 signed over 10 km this year, will necessarily have a card to play.
Lucie Basdevant. The member of Verneuil-sur-Avre will also be a competitor to watch. 2nd in the Foulées in 2018, Basdevant has already run 39’19 over 10 km this year.
Meeting with Jean-François Lerma, kingpin of the Foulées de la Cathédrale and the Foulées roses de Chartres: “A big organization”
Lise Cerisier. The member of Aclam mainly presents references on 5km. But with a time of 19’15 achieved in 2022, the daughter of President Alban Cerisier is worth less than 39′ over the upper distance.
Stride from the cathedral. This Saturday evening, at 8:30 p.m. Departure from the media library, arrival at Place des Epars. Withdrawal of bibs and registration on site from 10 a.m.: €18.
Pink strides. This Saturday evening at 7 p.m. Same departure and arrival. Online registration only until 6:30 p.m. €12. Opening of the departure village and entertainment from 2 p.m.
