La course autour du lac - Carcès 2027

La Course autour du Lac is a running event in Carcès, a village in Provence Verte & Verdon in the central Var. The main race is a 16 km loop called the tour du lac, with a shorter 7 km piste du lac for those seeking a less demanding option. The day begins at Place de la Mairie in the morning; registration is required for all program activities. The event centers on the lake but also functions as a local village race day, featuring a gourmet walk and children's races alongside the timed runs. Carcès is located within reach of Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, the Verdon area, and the Mediterranean coast, placing the setting in the Provençal countryside rather than a large urban environment. The race is old enough to mark its 30th anniversary, giving it the character of a local fixture.
