La Gassinoise is a 10.5 km nature race held in Gassin, a hill village in the Var department of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, within the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. Typically scheduled for early March, it also features a timed 10.5 km Nordic walk, with runners and walkers following the same event format. Participation is limited to 400 individuals, and runners must possess either a valid license or a PPS certificate to compete.
The course, though short at 10.5 km, includes approximately 310 meters of elevation gain. This event is organized by Gassin’s municipal office for activities, culture, and leisure, and is listed on the departmental calendar for out-of-stadium races. Recent years have seen a revised start and course layout. Historical results indicate a predominantly local field rather than a large-scale event, with the Nordic walk forming a distinct group separate from the main running participants.
