2026 Estérel Saint-Raphaël Spartan Kids Race

Red rock cliffs and coves sit beside the Mediterranean at Estérel Saint-Raphaël, where the Spartan Kids Race sends young racers over a 1.5 to 3K obstacle course. The race occurs during Spartan’s Estérel Saint-Raphaël European Championship Event Weekend at Parking du débarquement in Le Dramont, Saint-Raphaël, on the French Riviera. It is a kids’ obstacle race, not a road run, with short-course distance and Spartan-style obstacles scaled for younger participants. The course uses the Estérel massif’s steep red-rock terrain, so the setting is coastal but not gentle. The wider weekend brings adults and kids from across Europe, with championship racing and a Trifecta Weekend where racers can complete the Sprint, Super, and Beast on the same trip. The adult options show the scale of the event around the kids’ race: Sprint is 5K with 20 obstacles, Super is 10K with 25, and Beast is 21K with 30. The French season ends here, and for Trifecta racers it is also the final chance to qualify for the Trifecta World Championship in Sparta.
