Ultrabaie

When the Baie de Somme becomes your playground. The Ultrabaie is a trail that takes you from sand to cliffs, between ports, dunes, and seaside villages. Here, there are no mountains or steep climbs, but kilometers carved out of a unique setting: the Picardy coastline and its endless horizons.

What you'll find there:

• A port atmosphere in Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, transformed into a lively running village all weekend;
• The pleasure of running between sand, pebbles, grass, and coastal paths, with the English Channel on the horizon;
• Crossings of iconic sites: Le Crotoy, Cayeux, Ault, Mers-les-Bains... names that evoke the sea;
• A simple and friendly organization, true to the spirit of coastal trail running.

Course Focus:

The event comprises four distances (and one relay). It all starts on Saturday with a 14km warm-up run between Le Crotoy and Saint-Valery, a flat one-way trip but already full of character. On Sunday, the serious stuff begins: 20km to Le Hourdel, 34km to Cayeux-sur-Mer, and the long stretch, the UB70, which runs to Mers-les-Bains before returning. The profile remains rolling, but the effort is required: changing terrain, heavy sand, pebbles, wind-exposed passages... It's never monotonous. Solo or in a relay, you cross one of the most beautiful bays in the world, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, between land and sea.

3 (good) reasons to participate:

1. Discover the Baie de Somme in a different way, at your own pace;
2. Vary the pleasures: from a fast run to a long 70km breakaway;
3. Experience a trail that combines authenticity, nature, and conviviality.
