Cross Duathlon of the Sands 2026

If you’re looking for a race that smells like adventure and nature, the Cross Duathlon of the Sands in Arc-sur-Tille ticks all the boxes 🌿.

Here, you come to enjoy yourself, push your limits just enough, and head home with legs that tell a story 💪.

On the agenda: a 26 km format that alternates sensations, with that little “come back for more” taste when the ground shifts beneath your feet… and when the scenery of Côte-d’Or reminds you that you’re in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, not on a gym treadmill 🏞️.

My local guide tip: arrive a bit early, make sure you’ve spotted the access points, and bring something to change quickly afterward—because in Arc-sur-Tille, you go from “effort” mode to “pleasure” mode in the blink of an eye 😉.

And after the finish, don’t rush off right away: less than 20 minutes away, you can treat yourself to a mini getaway in Dijon for a stroll through the historic center, head over to Lac Kir to catch your breath by the water, or swing by the Parc de la Colombière to recover calmly with a walk! 🧭

If you’re coming as a couple or with family, that works too: stroll through the little streets of Dijon, enjoy a tasty break on a terrace, and a short walk in the greenery around Arc-sur-Tille to end the day without rushing. And I promise, you won’t need to look for sand in your shoes to remember the name! 😄
