Ré Swin Run 2026

If you like the idea of switching from saltwater to solid ground with no transition, the Ré Swin Run is made for you: you move to the rhythm of the tides, between beaches, paths and wild corners, with the Île de Ré as a life-size nature playground 🌊.

Here, you don’t come to “just” do a race: you come to experience the island. You follow landscapes that smell of pine forest, you cross unexpected passages, and you enjoy a unique spot in Charente-Maritime, set between the ocean and Île de Ré villages with disarming charm 🏝️.

As for formats, you choose your adventure: 7 km to get a taste of the experience and treat yourself, 17 km for a great getaway that really takes you places, or 30 km for the “Ré-solution” version: you’ll take it all in and leave with quite a story to tell 🏃‍♂️.

My local guide tip: come for the challenge, stay for the atmosphere. On the island, everything is close, everything is beautiful, and even the spectators look like they’re on vacation… you included, between two starts and a well-deserved finish 🌿.

And after the effort, what do you do? Take a stroll in Saint-Martin-de-Ré (the ramparts and the harbor are perfect to unwind), go breathe at the Phare des Baleines for a view that puts everything back into perspective, wander through the markets of La Flotte, or finish in Ars-en-Ré for postcard charm and a sunset that’s well worth the detour 🚲.

If you’re coming as a couple or with family: picnic on the beach, a bike ride on the cycle paths, an ice-cream break at the harbor, and a little drink on a terrace to relive the race without overthinking it… so, are you in? ⛱️
