About this race
Le Grand Huit des Fêtes d’Anglet is an 8 km relay race held at La Barre in Anglet, as part of the town’s Fêtes d’Anglet. Anglet Olympique Athlétisme organizes it with a straightforward format: teams complete 10 short laps instead of a single long point-to-point route.
Each lap measures 800 meters, meaning the race emphasizes repeated handovers and quick, observable running over an extended course. La Barre provides a central location for the event, ideal for a relay, allowing runners, teammates, and spectators to remain near the activity as the laps accumulate.
