The event in a few words

Set course for the sublime island of Mahé, the main island of the Republic of Seychelles 🇸🇨. The lineup of delights invites you to take on the legendary Seychelles Nature Trail, a punchy, technical challenge of around 22 kilometers. Your body will have to face a serious double challenge: handle particularly steep slopes and, above all, survive a stifling humidity that will turn every drop of sweat into a real stream! 💦

The ribbon of earth catapults you into a spectacular setting that blends the rawness of the tropical rainforest with breathtaking panoramas over the turquoise waters of the ocean. Your effort will start near Port Glaud and very quickly dive into the Morne Seychellois National Park. You’ll have to zigzag between giant roots, scramble over smooth granite boulders, and carve your way through dense, endemic vegetation. Total immersion forces you to keep your focus razor-sharp so you don’t slip on this technical terrain, while still allowing yourself a few seconds to take in the mind-blowing plunging views over the pristine bays of the west coast ⛰️.

Adrenaline saturates the hot air within an intimate pack bringing together passionate local runners and travelers in search of exoticism. Forget the oppressive crowds—this celebration is experienced as a very personal adventure and one that is deeply respectful of the local wild environment. Volunteers cheer you on with big Creole smiles, carrying you to the magnificent finish line set on the Grand Anse side. A delightfully tropical fervor welcomes you beneath the final arch, where the muscle pain instantly melts away in the face of the place’s pure beauty 🏅.

Save one last hint of energy to pay tribute to this postcard setting once you’ve taken off your mud-filled shoes. Bring your crew along for a restorative dip in the perfectly warm Indian Ocean, then devour a delicious traditional octopus curry by the clear water. Switch on your GPS and come sweat in paradise! 💥
