Trail des chapelles - Plestin-les-Grèves 2026

The Trail des Chapelles begins at the nautical center in Saint Efflam, near the bay at Plestin-les-Grèves. This trail-running event offers three primary distances: 25 km, 17 km, and 10 km. Approximately 95% of each route follows paths, with minimal road usage. The longer races present significant elevation changes, featuring 600 m of climbing for the 25 km and 400 m for the 17 km. The 10 km option includes 200 m of climbing and is generally less demanding, though it incorporates some technical sections. The 25 km course circles Plestin via country paths before descending into the Douron valley and reaching Toul An Hery. The 17 km route crosses similar terrain through the Dour Meur valley. Starting from Saint Efflam bay, the 10 km race heads towards Toul An Hery. Several courses conclude along the sentier des douaniers, the historic customs path, offering vistas over the Locquirec bay. The event also features two untimed "pink walks" (8 km and 11 km) supporting Octobre Rose breast cancer screening awareness, alongside a beach mini-trail for participants under 14. Strong turnout is common, even during harsh coastal conditions; one year saw 900 registered runners despite an icy wind at Saint Efflam beach.
