Omwille van de corona crisis wordt de Bordeaux Coast Trail verzet naar 13, 14, 15 en 16 mei 2021.
Bij een City Run moet je zo snel mogelijk de checkpoints vinden die zijn aangeduid op een kaart. De route tussen de checkpoints kies je zelf. Het is makkelijk, voor iedereen en bovenal superleuk!
Bordeaux Coast Trail
Join Runners’ lab during the weekend of May 22, 23 & 24 in France to discover the best trails in the endless forests along the coast near Bordeaux.
Our basecamp is situated in Pine Beach Paradise in Montalivet. This piece of paradise is operated by the Belgian company BoardX and they can accommodate all runners and their families who want a carefree stay.
Next to enjoying the sun, the sea and the beach we have a lot of running sessions planned! All of the running events are groupruns. We’ll have different pacers for all distances so we ensure that everybody has a group to join on the runs!
We are sure you’ll find the perfect balance between relaxing, trailrunning, surfing and enjoying the sun!
Our basecamp for the whole weekend is situated in Montalivet, North of Bordeaux.
All activities and all runs start from Pine Beach Paradise.

The beach is +- 800m away from Pine Beach Paradise.
At 18:00 you can join an orienteering relay at the camping ground. This will be a fun and short running event where you need one partner to compete with!
At an orienteering race you need to find checkpoints that are marked on a map. The checkpoints will be placed at Pine Beach Paradise, so this activity is ideal for all ages (kids and top-athletes).
From 19:00 dinner will be served.
Start this Friday well by joining one of the groups on the morning run at 08:30.
There will be different groups with different paces (from 8km/h untill 12km/h) and the runs will go from 45 min to 1 hour.
In the morning or at 13:00 you can go surfing – or try surfing by taking some lessons.
At 17:00 we organize the Runners’ trail lab. Here you can view and test running shoes, drinking systems/running backpacks, nutrition, poles, compressions socks, lamps, etc….
Experienced trailrunners from Runners’ lab will help you with all your questions and amaze you with facts and information ;-).
Most of the stuff on display will be available to take with you on a run while you stay here during the weekend!
At 20:30 you can join us for a sunset run along the beach (different paces).
Saturday it’s Trail day!
All courses will go through the endless forests and dunes south of Montalivet.
We have prepared 4 different routes (10 – 18 – 28 – 40km). There will be different paces for all distances.
10km – pace: 8km/h and 10km/h
18km – pace: 8km/h, 9km/h, 10km/h and 11,5km/h
25km – pace: 9,5km/h and 11km/h
32km – pace: 9,5km/h and 11km/h
40km – (Same group as 32km but with the option for an extra loop of 8k)
During these runs there will be several segments which will be timed and where you can go all out. The times of all the segments will be added up to find an overall leader (Men and Women), there is also a seperate ranking for the individual segments:
1° Beach (4km)
2° Hill (up & down – 1,5km)
3° Climb (up – 500m)
There is a very large dune ridge which stretches for miles covering a big part of the course area. The ridge is about 50metres high (and he’s very sandy). This means the climbs are not so long (max 50m of climbing) and the sand makes it even more enjoyable!
Runners with not so many trail experience can try to take up the distance they’re used to at training. It is not a technical trail but the sand and short steep climbs make it quite unique.
In the afternoon you can go for some surfing, join in on our beachvolley tournament (or lay on the beach and recover from the run).
During dinner, there will be a prize-giving ceremony for the Trailrun.
After that you can finish the day with a party!
On Sunday you can join us for a last morning run at 7:30.
You can take you time to enjoy a last breakfast in Pine Beach Paradise and start the trip back home.
If you want to stay longer, please check other accommodations nearby. The Camping Municipal is situated right next to Pine Beach Paradise.
