The event in a few words

Here's a little riddle for you: What takes place in early July, happens by the sea, and offers a stunning sunrise? ๐ŸŒ… Your vacation? Nope, it's the Ultrabaie! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

In Saint-Valery-sur-Somme in the Hauts-de-France region, you'll be accompanied by the fresh breeze and the sand under your feet ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ as you embark on an unforgettable trail adventure! ๐Ÿคฉ Now in its 3rd edition, the Ultrabaie is back to leave a lasting impression with a spectacular course โœจ. The Sentier du Littoral trail, right by the sea and its beaches ๐Ÿ–๏ธ, will be your playground, no matter the distance you choose! ๐Ÿค“ From the Baie de Somme to the cliffs, you'll discover a wild nature as you pass through places like Le HourdelCayeux-sur-MerAultLe Crotoy, or even Mers-les-Bains. These landscapes will resonate with you like a poem, as the organizer himself puts it: "You see the sea, then you don't, then you see it again... You spot one seal, then two, then three... And always the birds." ๐Ÿฆ It almost sounds like something out of Verlaine! ๐ŸŽผ

The distances are sure to charm you too! ๐Ÿฅฐ Whether you're an experienced runner or just looking to push yourself, you'll find short trails of 14 or 20 km and long trails of 34 or 70 km! For those who prefer teamwork, there's even a relay option for the 70 km ๐Ÿค—. The only difficulty you'll encounter on this course might be resisting the urge to marvel at the beauty of the Bay, especially at sunrise! ๐ŸŒž Yes, you wouldn't want to lose time on such a smooth track โฑ๏ธ, especially as you'll get to admire the scenery twice ๐Ÿ“ธ. All the events are out-and-back courses, giving you double the time to enjoy the views ๐Ÿ˜‰. And at the finish line, you'll be greeted by concerts and a big party ๐Ÿ˜. What more could you want? ๐Ÿ˜‹ Actually, the Ultrabaie gives you a taste of vacation! ๐Ÿงณ

Why not extend your stay? ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ After crossing the finish line, continue your adventure by exploring the beautiful Hauts-de-France region. Just an hour's drive away ๐Ÿš—, wander through the charming streets of Touquet-Paris-Plage and enjoy its sandy beaches ๐ŸŒŠ, or explore the stunning Cap Blanc-Nez cliffs for breathtaking views! ๐Ÿคฏ For history buffs, step back in time by visiting the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral in Amiens ๐Ÿฐ, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Finally, take your family to the Marquenterre Park for an unforgettable day observing migratory birds ๐Ÿ‘ช.

You wouldn't want to miss this Ultrabaie experience! ๐Ÿ˜…
