Les olivettes - Les Mées

Les Olivettes is a 9 km nature run in Les Mées, France, beginning at Taura stadium near Mées lake and held in early May. This short trail race, organized by Les Pénitents Endurance, an FFA-affiliated local association, features approximately 110 metres of elevation gain. The course follows mostly tracks and single trails through the olive groves of Les Mées, which the organizers state is the largest olive grove in mainland France. The race is open to participants from the cadet category upwards, requiring an FFA licence, Pass Running, medical certificate, or PPS, depending on the runner. Post-race, the lake area provides a relaxed picnic setting, and a catered meal package is available for runners and supporters.
