La Panoramique de Carnoux 2027

La Panoramique de Carnoux is a trail race held in late January, starting from Carnoux-en-Provence, a village in the Bouches-du-Rhône department situated between Marseille and Cassis. The event features a single 13 km race, classified as a Trail XXS, with approximately 350 metres of elevation gain and a morning start. It is organized by AAS Carnoux Jogging and typically attracts a local field, with over 500 participants at the last edition. The course crosses the hills and natural trails surrounding Carnoux, offering seaside terrain and open vistas towards Cap Canaille and the Bay of Cassis. The name reflects the route: a concise race focused on expansive panoramas rather than varied distances or additional activities. Organizers even arrange a partial course preview from Carnoux Town Hall, though the Carpiagne section is restricted during this reconnaissance. The race's description in French suggests it's enough to make your head spin, which seems less like exaggeration and more like a fair caution for a challenging 13 km run above the coast.
