Le lucus bacchus 2026

Le Lucus Bacchus is a small October race series held in Le Luc, located in the Var department of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. Participants can choose between an 11 km race and a trail race approximately 20 to 21 km long, with both adult races commencing in the morning. The shorter race features minimal elevation gain, around 50 m, whereas the longer trail involves approximately 650 m of climbing, presenting distinct challenges for each distance. The event also offers walking and hiking options, alongside children’s trail races of 1 km and 1.5 km. The course selection offers a mix of road-style running and trail running. The 11 km option is suitable for runners seeking a local race with moderate elevation. The longer trail presents a more demanding option, with a significantly hillier terrain. Past participation has been modest, with fields slightly exceeding 200 runners overall and around 160 finishers recorded in one 11 km race. The town hall of Le Luc en Provence organizes the event, and the affordable entry fees contribute to its atmosphere as a local community gathering rather than a large commercial event.
