Running in Nouvelle-Aquitaine

From Landes Pines to Pyrenean Peaks

Participating in a race in Nouvelle-Aquitaine guarantees you a complete change of scenery under a generally mild oceanic climate 🌦️. You can choose an event by the sea to enjoy the Atlantic breezes, from the Basque Country all the way to the island of Ré 🌊. If you love the shade, a nature race in the heart of the majestic Landes de Gascogne Natural Park will have you dashing through the forest of pine trees 🌲. Enthusiasts of steep climbs will also find some serious elevation by tackling the mountains around the Pic du Midi d'Ossau ⛰️. The biodiversity is so rich that you might encounter some wild pottoks during your Basque excursions 🐎.

Land of Cinema and History

Running races in Nouvelle-Aquitaine are a true open-air time machine ⏳.
