Ajaccio

Running in Ajaccio means steep coastal and mountain terrain — the Urban trail aiaccina and City trail impérial tackle the city's hillside streets and clifftop routes overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Trail Napoléon (42km) pushes inland into Corsica's granite peaks, gaining serious elevation for trail runners willing to venture beyond the flat seafront. Cyclists have the Grand Prix Cycliste de Sarrola (63km) as the benchmark regional race, a challenging loop through the scrubland and villages inland where sustained climbs reward those who train the Corsican hills year-round.
