Tour du Bearn

The Tour du Béarn is a two-day team relay held in October around Pau and the Pyrénées-Atlantiques in southwest France. Teams cover 200 kilometers across 14 stages, requiring seven runners for the full team format. The race includes road sections and trails, with significant climbing featuring the Col d'Aubisque. The race begins in Pau, travels through Béarn’s villages and Pyrenean foothills, and concludes on Place Clemenceau. Runners will pass locations such as the Château de Crouseilles, Serres-Castet, the Bénou plateau, and mountain terrain known to cycling enthusiasts from the Tour de France. The event also provides a duo stage and a two-person relay stage, allowing smaller groups to participate in portions of the weekend. Following the race, participants are served local dishes, including poule au pot and garbure.
