8 heures de l'hippodrome 2026

The 8 heures de l'hippodrome sends teams from the Mediterranean to a horse-racing track in Cagnes-sur-Mer. It is a relay triathlon held on a Sunday in June at the Côte d'Azur hippodrome, with teams of four sharing an Enduro M mixed-format race. The organizer, U.S. Cagnes Triathlon, describes it as a triathlon format unlike others in France. The course is easy to picture: swim in the Mediterranean, ride around the hippodrome by the seafront, then run on the trotting track. It is aimed at athletes who want the challenge without making the event sound elite-only. The setting puts it between Nice, Antibes, and Cannes, and the Cagnes-sur-Mer train station is less than a kilometer from the venue. France 3 Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur is listed as a partner.
