Trail Landes et Bruyères

A legendary trail on the Breton coast

Created in 2005, the Trail Landes et Bruyères has become one of the unmissable sporting events in northern Brittany. Organized by an association of volunteers, the event takes place over a spring weekend between the Caps d'Erquy and Fréhel, classified as a Grand Site de France. Runners navigate coastal paths lined with heather moorlands, pink sandstone cliffs, and wild beaches, offering breathtaking panoramas of the Bay of Saint-Brieuc and the Emerald Coast.

Races for all levels

The sporting program offers three trail races adapted to different profiles:

• Trail des 2 Caps (33 km): the main event, a point-to-point course connecting Cap Fréhel to Cap d'Erquy, following the coastline between cliffs and heathlands.
• Trail du Cap d'Erquy (15 km): a loop starting from Erquy, taking beach and coastal paths before crossing pine woods and the Caroual viaduct.
• Course de la Corniche (7 km): a race accessible to all, ideal for discovering the exceptional natural setting of the cape.

Nordic walks (16 and 27 km), hikes, and youth races complete the program, making the event a sporting celebration open to all ages.

A strong environmental commitment

Located in the heart of a Grand Site de France, the Landes et Bruyères association pays particular attention to environmental respect. The routes are planned in collaboration with the managers of the natural site, and volunteers ensure that the event's impact on the fragile ecosystems of the coastal heathlands is limited. The spirit of the event is based on conviviality, volunteering, and the discovery of remarkable natural heritage.
