Pointe du Hoc – Basecamp, 7 km

Monday the 15th of June 2026

Your trail begins at the impressive Pointe du Hoc with a short warm-up run. Green single tracks and the bocage farmland of Normandy set the tone for the days ahead.

This opening stage is compact but intense. Expect soft ground, uneven surfaces, and narrow trails cutting through fields and hedgerows. The terrain demands focus: constant changes in footing, sharp turns, and sections that keep you on your toes.

It’s the perfect chance to dial in your gear, test your pace, and find your rhythm. Keep your effort controlled — the real mileage is still to come. You close the day with the ocean breeze at your back. Legs awake, mind switched on. The adventure has only just begun.
