La Coupe Volcanique - 1.5 km 2026

The La Coupe Volcanique 1.5 km is a short open-water swimming race held in Charbonnieres-les-Vieilles, a village in Puy-de-Dôme, France's Auvergne region. It begins at 10:00 AM and is part of the Coupe Volcanique programme, which also includes 3 km and 4.5 km swims. The name reflects the volcanic Auvergne landscape. One past edition was titled La Coupe Volcanique du Gour de Tazenat, connecting the race to the Gour de Tazenat crater lake. As the shortest race in the series, the 1.5 km option is suitable for swimmers seeking the event's atmosphere without the commitment of longer distances.
