Course de la Corniche Vendéenne 2026

The Course de la Corniche Vendéenne takes place in September in Saint Hilaire de Riez, on France’s Vendée coast, with the route following the Corniche Vendéenne. It features six running races: solo 7 km, 14 km, and 21 km options, an "Elle et Lui" duo race, children’s races, and an 8 km walk open to all. The course runs along a coastal corniche offering wide sea views, distinguishing it from a standard road race. Over 800 runners participated in the last edition, with participants including young athletes, juniors, seniors, veterans, walkers, duos, and solo runners. The event is organized by volunteers from the association “Evènements pour les enfants de ST HILAIRE.”
