The Great Escape Isle aux Coudres

We know this destination well, having explored it as tourists.

Stéphane went there in the dead of winter to circumnavigate the island under a blazing sun, then returned in the summer of 2025.

The verdict is unanimous: it's magnificent in every season. The landscapes have a touch of Brittany about them, resonating with our roots, with breathtaking sunsets and an exceptional island atmosphere where you immediately feel part of the local community. In June, the temperature is ideal (around 20 degrees Celsius), perfect for running and enjoying the excellent local restaurants and the renowned Pedneau Cider House!

À qui s’adresse cette course ?

L'expérience The Run Away

Joining us for L'Échappée means treating yourself to a true sporting retreat in a small group.

The experience begins as soon as you cross the ferry: you leave the stress of the city behind on the shore.

Once settled into the beautiful Hôtel Cap-aux-Pierres, we'll kick off the weekend gently with our shakeout run on Friday at 5 p.m. For those who wish, it will be possible to follow up with a yoga session facing the sunset (optional activity) to unwind.

The rest of the weekend is a perfect balance between the thrill of the starting line, pushing your limits, and the pleasure of sharing delicious meals with a close-knit group of 15 enthusiasts.

For this getaway to Isle-aux-Coudres, we've created an ultra-exclusive event strictly limited to 15 participants.

What's more, the first 3 registrants will receive their race bibs for free! Needless to say, the spots will be snapped up in a flash.
