Explore the rugged coastline of South Finistère at the upcoming edition of La Trace, a purely natural trail event returning to Trégunc on Sunday, April 5, 2026. Organized by the Association RAID Finistère Sud, this race is celebrated for its iodized atmosphere, leading runners through a diverse landscape of coastal paths, hidden coves, and woodland trails. The 2026 edition marks an ambitious milestone with the introduction of a new flagship distance, expanding the event's reach to include seasoned ultra-endurance athletes alongside local trail enthusiasts. Beyond the physical challenge, La Trace is deeply rooted in community support, continuing its legacy of donating significant proceeds to local associations focused on health and disability support.
The race program is designed to showcase the wild beauty of the Brittany coast across four distinct distances. The 11 km course offers a fast-paced introduction to the regional trails, while the 27 km route provides a substantial test of stamina, available for both solo runners and relay teams. For those seeking marathon-level intensity, the 42 km course covers a significant portion of the coastline, and the brand-new 65 km ultra-distance promises to be the ultimate test of grit in the Finistère department. With a commitment to exceeding the humanitarian impact of previous years, every participant contributes to a collective effort that has already seen thousands of euros directed toward life-changing regional charities.
