Vimpelles and its elves celebrate 25 years of Christmas decorations
“This year we will celebrate the 25th anniversary of our village's decorations and it was important to mark the occasion by starting the Christmas celebrations in an original way”, explains Nadine Delattre, mayor of the town.
“Last year, it was by exchanging with one of the leprechauns of Vimpelles which we offered to organize a race in the heart of the village during the end of year celebrations. A single meeting with Nadine Delattre was enough for her to accompany us,” adds Anthony Amaro, one of the organizers.
The departure of 5 kmwhich will take place near the town hall, is scheduled for 3 p.m., and that of 10 kmat 3:55 p.m. Bibs can be collected from 2 p.m., in the village hall: “For those who are going to run the 10 km, it would be better to bring a headlampbecause the sun sets around 5 p.m. at that time of the year and part of the route is not illuminated,” explains Anthony Amaro.
Finally, note that given the usual temperatures at this time of year, a hot drink evening offers to each participant at the finish of the race.
