Dunkerque

Dunkerque sits on the Flemish coast where the terrain is relentlessly flat—the Open VTT Dunes de Flandres and Rallye Carrefour Cyclo-Club Saint-Pol-sur Mer routes showcase the region's sandy, windswept dune landscape where riders navigate hard-packed paths and occasional beach sections. Runners find fast courses along the seafront and inland canals with minimal elevation, though the persistent northwest wind can be punishing. Cyclists dominate the local racing calendar with distances ranging from 48km beach races to 100km road randonnées through the Flanders polder country.
