The Foulées Monterelaises were created on November 3, 1984 during the commercial fortnight, by Claude SIGONNEAU. A popular race, a race for experienced riders and youth races are on the program.

Initially run in the lower town for 5 years, from 1990 to 1997 the course will take place on a 15 km loop which will take the difficult hill of the cemetery to cross the upper town.

In 1995, Daniel SIGONNEAU joined his brother in the organization and they worked together to develop this event which only brought together about two hundred riders for its main race.

In 1998 it was decided to reduce the distance to 10km and to offer a fast course conducive to performance in order to attract runners.

The 1st regional label was obtained in 1999 as well as the organization of the Seine et Marne Championships, and in 2004 the number of finishers exceeded 500 and the winner went under the 29′ mark (Jacob KITUR in 28'45"). Unfortunately in 2001 Claude SIGONNEAU passed away, and left a great void in the sporting life of Monterelais and in the organization of the Foulées.

In 2003, the organization obtained the 1st LIFA Championship over 10km.

The increase in participation is constant to exceed 1000 finishers in 2009. The performances are also there with the record in 2009 of the victory of Ezechiel NIZIGIYIMANA from Burundi in 28'17" and in 2012 Mary WACERA NGUGI from Kenya in 31'28".

2013 will be the year of the 5th inter youth league match which, despite difficult weather conditions at the start, will be a great success with the participation of 147 athletes representing 13 leagues.

Everything is put in place by the organization to welcome the participants as well as possible by offering them a pleasant and fast course, various and varied rewards (bags, toiletry bags, towels, sweatshirt, fleece set, windbreaker), a tasting of Brie de Montereau. The young people are not forgotten with the eve of the 10km races for the youngest with the involvement of the schools of Montereau.

As for the athletes of the organizing club, only four climbed on the podium in the main race: Chantal VALLON 3rd female in 1990, Malik BENCHABANE second in 1997, 3rd in 1992 and 1999, Moustapha AFFEDAS 2nd in 1996 and Ali BENCHABANE 3rd in 1994.

Some athletes have managed to win twice, such as Nicole FAUCHEUX in 92 and 94, Roseline TURPINAT in 96 and 99, Philippe PORTEJOIE in 87 and 90, Aziz BOUGRA in 94 and 2000 and Abraham NIYONKURU in 2010 and 2014.
