Saussetrail - Sausset-les-Pins 2026

Saussetrail is a coastal trail race in Sausset-les-Pins, on the Côte Bleue in the Bouches-du-Rhône, with the sea nearby and Provence inland. Runners can select a 27 km trail with 1,100 m of elevation gain or a 13 km nature run with 360 m of elevation gain; neither option is a flat-road race. Courir à Sausset, the local running club, organizes the event, which takes place in December. The longer race is designated Trail XS, but its climbing qualifies it as a significant hill-and-coast run, not just a short trail. The courses are technical and scenic, crossing natural terrain and the seaside environment near Sausset-les-Pins. The race maintains a local club atmosphere: all participants receive a gift, the organizers emphasize its eco-responsible nature, and one euro from each registration is donated to the Téléthon.
