SwimRun de Valras Plage 2026

The SwimRun de Valras Plage is your best excuse to play amphibian between sea and town, with a bonus of salty air and Occitanie as the backdrop 😎.

Here, you alternate water and land to the rhythm of the waves, you follow the coastline, you soak up the seaside resort vibe, and you can feel that everything is designed for you to have a good time—whether you come solo, with friends, or as a duo 🤝.

You choose your format depending on how you feel that day: 5 km to get started without burning out, 9.735 km to enjoy it for longer, or 19.95 km to treat yourself to the “big plunge” version and take it all in 🏁.

And if you’re coming with family, a major highlight: there are also children & juniors courses, perfect for passing on a taste for adventure… and negotiating an ice cream after the effort 🍦.

And as a local guide, let me tell you: the real luxury here is the post-race just a stone’s throw from the start, when you switch into vacation mode. Take a stroll along the seafront promenade, head to the Valras-Plage marina for the atmosphere, or go get some fresh air at the mouth of the Orb on the Sérignan side. If you want to mix it up, a detour to Béziers (the Fonseranes Locks and the viewpoints) makes for a perfect outing without going far 🌅.
