Chance of the calendar, in this weekend of the Heritage Days, the Stellantis factory in Sochaux in the Doubs opened its doors during a race accessible to all. On the program, two courses of 5 to 10 km. Sport, but above all a pretext to make the cogs of the factory discover. Cutting, ironing or even painting. Participants run, of course, but the wide eye open. “We live nearby and it is true that we pass every day in front, so it’s nice, we discover something that we do not know” confides a participant.
Here, we do not come to beat records, but to put ourselves in the mood: “it will be the least quick 5 km that I have ever done, but not the least interesting in any case”.
The bibs left like hotcakes. Registration had to be refused. Among the competitors of the day, necessarily some of the 6,500 people who work in Stellantis Sochaux. “We are with friends who come from Toulouse, who are rather aeronautical world, so they also discover another industry, so it’s really very nice to be able to show that, and what we do here” testifies an old employee in sneakers.

The automotive production plant had not opened its doors to the general public for 10 years. On this Sunday, no car came out of the production channels to allow the holding of this economic-sports event which could be renewed next year.
