La Foulée des Baïnes – Lège-Cap-Ferret

La Foulée des Baïnes – Lège-Cap-Ferret is a coastal trail event taking place on the Cap Ferret shoreline that stages beach and dune running in late‑May. The event offers three competitive distances (11 km, 22 km and 31 km) plus a randonnée option, with starts deliberately timed in the late‑afternoon to coincide with low tide so runners experience the baïnes and sandy stretches. The route blends long beach sections with dune and forest tracks and the organiser highlights a semi‑self‑sufficiency approach for the longer formats to reflect the sandy, exposed terrain.

The event is presented as a community‑scale race with a limited field, staggered late‑afternoon starts and multiple aid stations on the longer distances; packet collection and registration are handled via the event’s official channels and timing/registration pages. Finishers receive event gifts and supplies appropriate to distance, and the organiser communicates strongly about arrival times, water planning and heat/sand precautions. Participants are advised to check the official site for final logistical details and exact start windows tied to the tidal schedule.
