As communities across France prepare for the late-September charity calendar, the upcoming 14th edition of Les Virades de l’espoir in Gambsheim is scheduled for Sunday, September 28, 2025, at the local leisure zone. According to France ADOT 67/68, the solidary initiative invites participants to walk, run, or roll across 5 km and 10 km courses to support Vaincre la Mucoviscidose in its decades-long fight against cystic fibrosis.
Logistics and Course Offerings at the Gambsheim Leisure Zone
Staged annually across France on the final weekend of September, the event provides vital backing for research acceleration. Per France ADOT 67/68’s event outline, the Gambsheim iteration features traditional 5 km and 10 km paths open without prior registration, where participants can collect their chasubles at the dedicated pedestrian start stand. Beyond foot travel, visitors can navigate the site by stroller, scooter, or foot under the national banner of giving breath to those who lack it.

Subsequent acts include folk dancing from D’Sunneblueme vun Gambse, a Ram Muay demonstration by Bilal Bakhouche Chareuf, Latin dance with Nathalie and Rudy Grandpre Uno, and a musical tribute to Julien Clerc performed by Stéphane Lohr.
