Dear finisher,If you've been inspired by the literary masterpieces of the famed author <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Verne" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jules Verne</a> and wish to pay homage to him, we have just the thing for you: come and Run the Jules Verne! 🏃‍♀️ The city of <a href="kavval://cities/43297ab0-3e6d-42c4-a722-9ae4b5cd7d2d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Amiens</a>, nestled in the <a href="kavval://level1AdminAreas/d94645df-7dcd-4950-99b1-582d8c009024" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hauts-de-France</a> region, in the <a href="kavval://level2AdminAreas/243b939d-a4bd-4b69-8ba3-adc86e8465d3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Somme</a> department, has been annually hosting this namesake race since 2014, in tribute to the writer who made Amiens his home in 1871. With a bit of luck, during either a 5 km loop or two loops for a 10 km run ✌️, you might get to enjoy the city's iconic sites under brilliant sunshine 🌞 and pleasant temperatures. However, do check the weather forecast, as there's a chance of rain ☔️. But don't worry! It won't exactly be "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty_Thousand_Leagues_Under_the_Seas" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea</a>" levels of wet! 😅 Bonus: the 5 km can also be tackled through hiking or Nordic walking 🚶.If you're looking for a race without particular difficulties and accessible to all levels, Running the Jules Verne is definitely for you! It adds 5 km to your running journey 🏃🏽. You can also sign up for the 10 km to get a second look at each site – just in case you didn't have enough time to take it all in at your top speed the first time around! 😜 It's an unmissable event that last year gathered more than 4,300 participants.Let's talk about the scenery! ➡️ The race kicks off on Charlotte Boulevard. Along your route, you're sure to be awed by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiens_Cathedral" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Notre Dame Cathedral of Amiens</a> ⛪️ and its 42.30 m high vault (no, it's not 42 km, we're not talking marathon here 😉). It's a city emblem, just like the statue crowning the magnificent Dewailly clock at Place Marie Sans Chemises 👔. Don't worry! You won't miss the Amiens City Hall either, with its impressive stature (don't be jealous, you've got the physique of an athlete 😎). After winding through the modern city center, you'll see the famous Jules Verne Circus 🎪. Finally, you'll make your way to Rue Amiral Lejeune, where the finish line awaits. Afterwards, you might still want to enjoy the <a href="kavval://tags/festive" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">festivities</a>, live music 🎷, and brass bands at the start/finish lines and along the course 🏁. You can also explore the partner village located on Rue Caumartin. But stay focused: this race has a "regional label" that qualifies you for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Athletics_Championships" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">French Athletics Championships</a> for both the 10 km and 5 km 🏆.As the saying goes: "after the effort, the reward". You can indulge in the delicious Macarons of Amiens 😋. And if the running event has taken you through the city's "must-sees", you can always venture out to explore <a href="kavval://places/4e45dd78-6502-4847-99a4-5b3fc211eeec" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the Bay of Somme</a> 🌊, its stunning landscapes, and its war history.So, pay tribute to Jules Verne by adding this race to your story! 📕
