Semi Marathon de la Côte des Vikings 2026

The Semi Marathon de la Côte des Vikings is a road race held in Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue, on Normandy’s Cotentin coast, at the end of June. It features a half marathon of approximately 21.1 km and a 7 km race known as La course de l'huitre, or The Oyster Race. The half marathon follows a point-to-point seaside route from Gatteville-Phare to Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue, near the Hougue tower. This event is an established part of the Normandy running scene, maintaining a local character; its most recent running attracted over 400 participants, unlike a large urban race.
