Events calendar Barbâtre

Another race that brings people together on the island, other than the famous Foulées du Gois, is the Trail de Barbâtre. For the record, on the island of Noirmoutier, the commune of Barbâtre is linked to the mainland by the famous Passage du Gois. The program includes three main races between dunes, forests and beach, a 21 km trail with 150 m D+, a 14 km loop with 100 m D+ and a 2 loop of 7 km accessible to all. 2 kids' races of 1 and 2 km complete the day. Start and finish at Place du Marché. License or medical certificate required.

This race against the rising tide is a challenge against a unique site: Le Gois and its cobblestones. Created in 1987, this unique event remains a benchmark, bringing together 2,000 national and international runners. The Race des As, a major event, brings together the elite of international marathon running. It is preceded by popular races open to all on the open road. An incomparable opportunity to defy the elements. Athletes must conquer the sea through waves, crosswinds and currents. Since 2022, a new ebb-tide race.

Every season for over 30 years, a wave of culture has swept along the Atlantic coast, with this seaside festival of music and street arts!
