Course de l'Épiphanie is a first-weekend-of-January race series based in Fouras-les-Bains, a seaside commune in Charente-Maritime. It is a popular local event with two options: a 10 km race and a longer Trail XXS route listed at more than 24 km effort-distance.
The 10 km course includes about 100 meters of climbing, so it is not just a flat road jog, but it stays approachable for runners who want a short winter race. The longer trail option gives the event a more rugged side, and the published course material includes a profile and GPX trace for runners who want to study the route before lining up. The race is already deep into its run of editions, which suggests a settled January fixture rather than a one-off local experiment.
