100 Bornes du Père Noël

About this event

The 100 Bornes du Père Noël brings trail running to French Guiana's tropical landscape, starting from the coastal town of Kourou. This December event offers runners a unique opportunity to explore the diverse terrain of South America's rainforest region, where dense jungle meets the Atlantic coast. The course winds through a landscape that's dramatically different from traditional European mountain trails, with humid tropical conditions and lush vegetation creating a distinctive challenge. Running in mid-December here means warm temperatures and the possibility of afternoon showers, adding an extra dimension to the experience. The event attracts adventurous runners looking for something beyond the usual trail calendar, combining athletic challenge with the chance to discover one of France's most remote departments.
