Trail Cross du Fort des Dunes de Flandre

On November 15, 2026, the Fort des Dunes de Flandres will host an array of running events benefiting the Rêves et November association. The day promises to be filled with excitement and community spirit as participants take part in various races tailored for different age groups.
The trail cross event covers a distance of 5.5 kilometers and kicks off at 9:30 AM, offering runners scenic routes through the picturesque landscape surrounding the fort. This race is designed for more experienced athletes who enjoy challenging terrain and outdoor adventures.
For younger participants, there are several shorter races throughout the morning. The Populaire & Cadet event spans 2.2 kilometers starting at 10:15 AM, providing a less intense but still competitive environment for young runners to showcase their skills. Following this is the Benjamin-Minimes race, which covers just under two kilometers and begins at 10:35 AM.
The Poussins race offers an even shorter distance of approximately one kilometer starting at 10:40 AM, catering specifically to the youngest competitors who are eager to participate in a running event. This is followed by the Eveil Athlé race for the very young participants, covering roughly 1.1 kilometers and beginning promptly at 10:50 AM.
The day culminates with an As & Junior race that covers a distance of 11.4 kilometers starting at 11:00 AM. This longer run is aimed at older youth and juniors who are ready for more extensive challenges on the trails.
Registration fees vary based on the event, ranging from €6 to participate in select races such as those covering approximately 4.55 kilometers or 11.76 kilometers (the combined distance of multiple shorter events). The Eveil Athlé race is free for participants under a certain age limit, encouraging young athletes to take part without financial barriers.
