On Saturday 5 December 2026 Arles holds the third Christmas Run, a 5 km night course or walk through the illuminated old town.

Fancy dress is part of the fun and an outfit is included in the registration. Prices on the listing range widely, so check the booking page for the option you want. You can walk it, nobody is timed too seriously, and a costume gives strangers an easy reason to talk to you. «CHRISTMAS RUN ARLES 2026» Starts 18:00, ends about 22:00.
