About this event
The Nordique des Pénitents takes place in Les Mées, a striking Provençal village known for its distinctive rock formations called the Pénitents — towering stone pillars that resemble hooded monks. This ultra-distance road event covers an impressive 1200 kilometers, making it a serious undertaking for experienced ultra runners seeking an extended challenge through southern France. The route likely winds through the varied landscapes of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, where runners can expect Mediterranean scenery, historic villages, and the region's characteristic blend of lavender fields and limestone hills. Given the extreme distance, this event demands careful preparation, mental resilience, and solid experience with multi-day efforts. It's an adventure for those ready to test their limits on France's scenic roads.
