Frappadingue Le Quesnoy is the second edition inside one of the best-preserved Vauban fortresses in France: a walled town in the Nord ringed by ramparts, bastions and water-filled moats, an hour from Lille and close to the Belgian border.
Both Sunday formats run here — Format S over 5–6 km with 15 obstacles (from €43) and Format L over 10–12 km with 40 obstacles (from €53), 16 and over. Bib collection is from 8:30 to 12:30 on Place Tournefort, the first wave leaves at 9:30 and waves follow every 15 minutes; the organiser does not publish a last-wave time for this venue. Get into the start pen 30 minutes before your wave. The Frappajeune kids race runs the Saturday before at 10:00.
