Course du pont du diable Yannick Montus - Saint-Palais-sur-Mer 2027

The Course du Pont du Diable Yannick Montus is a coastal trail race in Saint-Palais-sur-Mer, located on France’s Atlantic coast in Charente-Maritime. It takes place over Easter weekend, offering 7 km and 14 km distances, and is organized by the local Athlétique Club de Saint-Palais-sur-Mer. This event is a nature-and-sand race, not a road run: the route faces the ocean, utilizes coastal paths for approximately two-thirds of the distance, and includes sections on Platin beach. The course runs near the Pont du Diable and offers views toward the Cordouan lighthouse, directly linking the race name to the scenery. The shorter distance is suitable for those seeking a sea-air race experience without a lengthy commitment, while the 14 km route provides more time on varied terrain. The sand presents a challenge, particularly for the calves, and the weekend also features activities organized with the municipality.
