Trail des 1ères Côtes

The Trail des 1ères Côtes is a trail race held in Saint-Caprais-de-Bordeaux, located in the Gironde hills near Bordeaux. Participants can select from 9 km, 13 km, or 21 km distances, accommodating both a brief off-road run and a more extended morning on the trails. This race also contributes to Octobre Rose, the French breast cancer awareness initiative. The route crosses forest paths, mossy terrain, and undergrowth in the vicinity of the 1ères Côtes. The name itself hints at the terrain, as climbs are a significant feature. Local advice suggests conserving energy to appreciate the scenery, as the hills and their surroundings are integral to the event's appeal. The atmosphere is community-oriented and centered on nature, with historical elements present but not overshadowing the natural setting.
