An international sporting event, the Lille Half Marathon is a running race organized by the Ligue Hauts-de-France d'athlétisme in March, to celebrate the return of spring. To take part in this race is first and foremost to set yourself a challenge and surpass yourself to cross the finish line. But it's also about discovering Lille's heritage, the Grands Boulevards and the Citadelle in a whole new light, thanks to routes that cross the heart of the city, welcoming thousands of people for the occasion in a very friendly, festive and supportive atmosphere.

The Route du Louvre is a renowned event that links Lille and Lens via several routes adapted to the sporting abilities and desires of each participant. Whether it's a hike, a trail or a run, participants can push their limits in a sporting, festive and cultural atmosphere that's part city, part nature. Whatever their route, they discover the rich cultural heritage of the Hauts-de-France region, the beauty of its sites against a backdrop of mines and slag heaps, and then meet up in the gardens of the Louvre-Lens to celebrate the end of their efforts in style!

It was in 2002, after having been on one of the steps of the Four Days in Dunkirk, that the mayor of Hellemmes puts himself in the lead of providing his own commune of cycling (for newcomers, know that a critérium refers to sporting events that are not championships!) After many discussions and a first race organized in 2003 in the form of a "gentleman" (understanding a race where a cyclist is interviewed the time of the journey), the first criterium hellemmois is finally organised in 2004. And over the years, it has become an essential part of the cycling landscape. Indeed, it is one of the only championships still organised in France, making it a very popular event of national and international cyclists. The Golden Handlebar is a journey that the athletes will take the tour 25 times… that is 35 km! But the Golden Handlebars is first and foremost a great, family-run holiday.

A family feast that places cycling in honour: The Golden Handlebar is an event not to be missed for all lovers of the Little queen!
