The Course du Pont du Diable is a mixed-surface running race in Saint-Palais-sur-Mer on France’s Atlantic coast, held around Easter weekend. It offers a shorter race built from two 4 km loops and a 14 km option made from two 5 km loops plus one 4 km loop, with children’s races for ages 7 to 15.
The route changes underfoot between road, stone paths, and sand, with climbs broken up by flatter stretches. AC Saint-Palais caps the field at 750 runners, and more than 500 bibs were already claimed in the source report. Runners collect bibs at the village on Place de l’Océan the day before, where charity groups such as Les Boobs de Saint-Georges-de-Didonne and Les Lydettes Raid Gold are also part of the event.
