Cross des îles - Cannes

Cross des îles - Cannes is a December cross-country race series in Cannes, France, connected to the Lérins Islands off the city’s coast. The programme consists of several short off-road events, not one single race, with distances for children, teenagers, adults, Nordic walkers, hikers, and a sport-for-all category. The race distances range from 1.3 km for school and Poussin events to 8.4 km for senior and master men and the open sport-for-all category. Other options include 5.6 km for senior women and junior men, 3.7 km short races, a 5 km Nordic walk, and a 5.1 km hike. The Lérins archipelago has five islands in the Mediterranean; Sainte-Marguerite is the largest, Saint-Honorat has a monastery, and the islands are situated between the Gulf of La Napoule and the Gulf of Juan.
