We're going to Monéteau!
This year, we are once again travelling to our partner community of Föhren, 426 km away in Monéteau-Sougères, for two days to take part in the half marathon, 5 km run, walking event or as spectators!
We will depart on Saturday, 25 April 2026, at 7 a.m. by bus from Föhren towards Monéteau, with another pick-up point at 7:15 a.m. at the Schweich swimming pool car park. On the way there, we will take our traditional breakfast break at the Basilique Notre-Dame de L'Epine near Chalons en Champagne.
On Sunday, 26 April 2026, we will be taking part in the 31st Semi-Marathon de Monéteau. Walkers can look forward to the 13 km walking route (Marche). Or you can come along as a spectator and cheer on "your" LG participants as a "mental coach".
The return journey to Föhren is on Sunday at approximately 4 p.m. Arrival will be around 10:15 p.m. in Schweich and 10:30 p.m. in Föhren.
Would you like to come along? As a club member, you will have received an invitation link by email. Just check your email inbox and register if you are interested. We ask our other guests who traditionally join us but are not members of the LG to be patient, as we would first like to offer our club members the opportunity to participate in the trip. From mid-March, we will open registration for any remaining places.
The two communities of Monéteau - Sougères / Frankreich and Föhren have been twinned for more than 30 years. In the course of the year, friendly encounters between the inhabitants of the two communities take place again and again through the various activities and events of the respective local associations.
Every year we take part in the half marathon in Monéteau (Info on Facebook) (Semi-Marathon de Monéteau de l'Amitié et des Villes Jumelées) in large numbers with runners and interested people from Föhren and the surrounding area. The event always takes place on the last Sunday in April.
