Ocean Race

About this event

The Ocean Race takes runners through the coastal pine forests and sandy trails of Mimizan, where the Landes forest meets the Atlantic. Set in this unique corner of southwest France, the course weaves through maritime pines and dune landscapes that define the region's wild character. April timing means mild temperatures and the chance to catch spring blooms along the forest floor. Mimizan itself offers that classic French beach town atmosphere, making it worth arriving early to explore the lakefront and ocean beaches. The terrain mixes soft forest paths with occasional sandy sections that test leg strength differently than typical mountain trails. A solid choice for runners seeking coastal trail running with a distinctly Atlantic flavor.
