Trail la Calanquaise 2027

Trail La Calanquaise is a trail and walking event in Carry-le-Rouet, on the Mediterranean coast of Bouches-du-Rhône in southern France. Typically held in mid-April, it offers runners several off-road distances: a 7.3 km Mini Trail with 230 m elevation gain, a 12 km option, and a 15 km trail with 350 m elevation gain. The event also features Nordic walking, sport walking, and a leisure walk, catering to participants beyond competitive trail runners. The routes traverse paths and rocky trails near the calanques, with views toward the Rade de Marseille. The Mini Trail is presented as accessible, though organizers advise that even this shorter course involves significant climbing and requires preparation. Poles are prohibited on the Mini Trail. NWA Côte Bleue organizes the event, which contributes to the fight against cystic fibrosis. Odile and Stéphane Diagana have been patrons since the inaugural event, and Joseph Mahmoud has attended as a guest of honor.
