Le Touquet's iconic MTB race returns for a 10th edition
Every December, Le Touquet-Paris-Plage trades its summer calm for the raw energy of the Enduro MTB Beach Race. Now in its 10th edition, this competition has grown into one of the most distinctive cycling events on the northern French coast — and the 6 December 2026 instalment promises to be the best yet.
Organised by TAC Cyclisme, the race sends riders through a mix of open beach and technical forest trails, with distances suited to both seasoned racers and enthusiastic newcomers. The setting — wide Atlantic sands flanked by pine forests — is as spectacular as the riding is challenging.
Race categories & start times
- Kids race (10 km) — starts at 11:30, a great introduction to sand racing for young riders
- Adults (30 or 50 km) — starts at 12:30, with two distances to match different fitness levels
Registrations take place at the Salle Gérard Bascoulergue. The start and finish area is on the seafront at Parking Saint-Jean 2.
Practical info
Making the most of race day from Hippotel
Hippotel sits just a short walk or cycle ride from the beach start line, making it the natural base for race day. Check in the night before, fuel up with our generous breakfast, and head straight to the seafront in time for the Kids' start at 11:30.
Not racing yourself? The atmosphere on the beach as the adult peloton charges across the sand is worth the trip alone. Afterwards, warm up in your room or apartment before enjoying a quiet Sunday evening in the resort.
Travelling with a cycling club or a group? We can arrange tailored packages — head to our group bookings page for details. And if you want to explore what else Le Touquet has to offer beyond the race, our activities page has everything from golf to sand yachting.
