Race of the 4 Winds 2026

The Race of the 4 Winds is Épaney in “big breath of fresh air” mode: nature, forest, and that little taste of Normandy that sets your head straight 🌿.

Here, you come to have a good time: a 5.5 km format if you want to sample the vibe, 7.5 km (yes, you even have two options) to play tightrope walker between speed and scenery, then 11 km and 13.3 km to go chase “the next wind” without kidding yourself! 💨

Around Épaney, the scenery does half the work. You go where the undergrowth smells good, you pick up the pace when it opens up, and you finish with the satisfaction of having “gotten some air” in the literal sense 🏁.

And after the effort, stick around to turn the outing into a real getaway: head to Falaise to see the Castle of William the Conqueror, take a break at the Montormel Memorial for the panorama, or go for a stroll in Caen between the Castle and the lively alleyways. If you want more nature, Norman Switzerland isn’t far for a walk along the Orne or a peaceful sunset 🏰.

You come for the four winds, you leave with at least four good reasons to come back… and a great story to tell when you get home 🍎.
