About the Event

This year's race is shaping up to be one of the largest events on the calendar, with over 800 participants already signed up and no more registrations available at the venue itself. The family loop welcomes runners of all ages—adults and children alike—and there’s no need for pre-registration; simply head to the start line without a bib number.
The Cross Court race is designed specifically for women and men aged 20 or over, from cadets to masters categories. All competitors will run two laps around the course before reaching the finish line. For those in younger age groups, the Benjamins and Minimes races (for boys and girls born between 2012 and 2015) offer a single lap challenge.
The Cross Long event caters to women who are aged 20 or over from Espoir to Master categories as well as men ranging from juniors born in 2008-2009 down to those born before 2007 across the same age divisions. Junior males will complete three laps, while other participants must run four.
In accordance with FFA regulations, all runners are required to present a valid FFA license or an electronic attestation indicating that they have completed the Federation's Prevention Health Pathway (PPS) within the last three months prior to the event date. No alternative medical documentation will be accepted for this purpose.
Bib collection is available exclusively on race day at the start area, located near Plage du Houssay starting from 9:30 AM.
This diverse lineup of races offers something for every level and age group of runner, ensuring an engaging atmosphere with a mix of competitive spirit and family fun.
