Sand and Forest Trail–Patrick Fougère 2026

Want a race that smells like salty sea air and pines, without overthinking it? The Sand and Forest Trail–Patrick Fougère is Saint-Palais-sur-Mer in a big, refreshing bowl of nature 🏖️.

Here, you alternate between sand and forest: a playful terrain, footing that keeps you awake, and that little “Sunday… or Saturday adventurer” vibe that makes you smile 🌲.

You choose your dose of escape: 10 km to treat yourself and head home feeling light, 16 km to stretch out the sporty stroll, or 26 km to chase the real taste of adventure and that satisfaction that sticks to your calves 🧭.

After the effort, you stay in the area and do your “post-race” like a pro: a walk on the Customs Officers’ Path (sea view guaranteed), a stop by the Cordouan Lighthouse (from the coast, it’s already magical), a detour to Nauzan to breathe it all in facing the waves, or a trip to Royan for a terrace and a stroll along the seafront ☕.

If you’re coming as a duo or with family, plan a sunset on the coast and a little walk among the pines: here, it feels like nature is still applauding you after the finish line! 🌅
