La Saint Politaine is a flat road race beside the sea in Saint-Pol-de-Léon, starting and finishing around Ilôt Sainte-Anne. The adult programme offers a 10 km and a 5 km, both run on repeated loops rather than a point-to-point route.
The 10 km uses three laps of about 3.33 km, while the 5 km uses two laps of 2.5 km, with the course following the coastline. Children also get two free races: the Choupinou is roughly 1000 m for younger children, and the Benj' race is 2500 m, using one loop of the 5 km course.
