Course
The Trail de la Côte d'Opale runs along chalk cliffs, sandy beaches and dunes of the Boulonnais coastline in Pas-de-Calais. 52km and 1,200m of elevation gain in a striking maritime setting.
The course crosses Cap Gris-Nez, Cap Blanc-Nez (a classified Grand Site de France), the beaches of Wissant and the cliffs overlooking the English Channel. Wind, sea spray and sand: a unique coastal trail in northern France.
3 formats (52, 28, 14km) accessible to all levels. Held in April from Boulogne-sur-Mer, it's the ideal trail for discovering nature running by the sea, far from classic mountain trails.
