THE DREAM

ABOUT THE RACE

A day you'll remember,
long past the finish line.

This 10K marks the opening of Dax Feria, one of the biggest festivals in southwestern France.

Runners dressed for the feria—in white with red scarves—run to the sound of bands.

It is a race that has continued for nearly 30 years and is a festival in its own right.
