Courir Pour le Plaisir 2026

Courir Pour le Plaisir is a road race held in Le Porge, a village in Gironde, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, situated between Lacanau and Lège-Cap-Ferret. Typically taking place in late August, it offers two race options: a 10 km and a half marathon. Both distances are officially certified, allowing participants to qualify for the French Championship. This makes the event suitable for competitive runners aiming for standards as well as those participating in a local race. The courses combine urban stretches with the natural environment surrounding Le Porge, an area known for outdoor activities and protected scenery near the Atlantic coast. While the race welcomes everyone, French federation regulations apply. An FFA license is valid, and participants without one must complete the PPS health prevention process. The race's initial purpose was to showcase Le Porge through athletic competition, and it has also held significance regionally as part of Aquitaine and Gironde championship events.
