La Presqu'ilienne

The Presqu’îlienne is a premier trail running and hiking event set on the stunning Crozon Peninsula in Finistère, Brittany. Scheduled for Thursday, May 14, 2026 (Ascension Day), the event starts and ends at the Maison des Minéraux in Saint-Hernot. Known for its breathtaking coastal panoramas, the race takes participants through iconic sites such as the Cap de la Chèvre, the Pointe de Dinan, and the Mediterranean-like turquoise waters of the Île Vierge cove.

The event offers three main routes designed to showcase the wild beauty of the Breton coastline. While the competitive trail races often reach capacity quickly, the hiking option remains accessible for leisure participants.

The courses are located in Crozon-Morgat (29160), navigating the rugged southern and western points of the peninsula. The terrain is a mix of technical coastal paths (GR34) and inland trails. In mid-May, the peninsula typically sees mild maritime weather with temperatures around 15°C, though sea breezes can be strong. Organizers strictly enforce an eco-friendly policy: no plastic cups are provided at aid stations. Runners must bring their own flasks or hydration packs. There are two aid stations for the 26 km route and one for the 12 km route.

Registration is managed via the Klikego platform, and participants must complete the FFA’s Health Prevention Path (PPS) to validate their entry. Bib Collection: Available at St Hernot on Wednesday, May 13 (2 PM – 6 PM) and on race morning from 7:30 AM. Bib Exchange: A dedicated "Bourse aux dossards" opens on March 15 for those looking to buy or sell entries for full events. Parking: Specific zones are designated for 26 km runners (300m from start), while other participants are directed to Kerglintin-La Palue. Family Activities: Free mini-trails and activities for children start at 9:10 AM in the woods opposite the start line. Participants and families also benefit from reduced-price entry to the Maison des Minéraux in the afternoon.

The event is organized by the Presqu'île de Crozon Jogging Club. Every participant receives a souvenir gift, and winners are awarded prizes in the scratch classification. The day concludes with a prize draw, and on-site catering (refreshments and small meals) is available for runners and spectators. For those wishing to stay longer, the local tourism office provides extensive resources for lodging along the coastline.
