La Veroise 2027

La Veroise is a small coastal trail event in Ver-sur-Mer, a Normandy town in Calvados a few kilometers from Caen. It takes place in April and offers two Discovery Trail distances, 7 km and 14 km, plus a 7 km walk. The races begin at Place Churchill, with the longer run starting first and the shorter run and walk following. It is organized by the local La Veroise association, and the format suits runners seeking an approachable off-road race rather than a long mountain trail. The course is rolling rather than steep, with low coastal altitude: the 14 km route has approximately 84 m of climb and a high point around 52 m, while the 7 km route has about 60 m of climb and reaches around 39 m. The 14 km is priced modestly in the available listing, and Dossard-Score rates it 77/100, marking it beginner-friendly. The event incorporates local wordplay, calling itself “Une course ver-meilleuse,” a pun on Ver-sur-Mer and the French word for wonderful.
