Spartan race - Estérel Saint-Raphaël 2026

Spartan Estérel Saint-Raphaël is a seaside obstacle race in southern France, situated between the Mediterranean Sea and the red rock slopes of the Estérel massif. It takes place on the first weekend of October, concluding the Spartan season in France. This offers racers a late-season objective in the South of France, distinct from city or stadium courses. The course includes steep hills, red-rock terrain, river and lake crossings, beaches, and overlooks of the turquoise sea. It also serves as the season's final Trifecta weekend. Athletes aiming for a Trifecta can use it as a final qualifier for the Trifecta World Championships in Sparta, while others use it for rigorous training. Families frequently attend, aided by the Indian-summer weather and the race's coastal location in Saint-Raphaël.
