From passion to action
It was in 1975 that the famous rider Thierry Sabine, then press attaché for the town of Le Touquet, decided to adapt the mass enduro races of the United States to France. He proposed setting up this competition in the resort, with a line-up start on the beach. The first event attracted 286 competitors. There are now more than 2,700 competitors who cross the start line each year, not forgetting the almost 400 quads registered.
The town of Le Touquet, with the support of the French Motorcycling Federation (FFM), is inviting enthusiasts to get together and share moments of pure magic on the Côte d’Opale. The programme includes no fewer than five races over three days: motorbike, junior, espoir, vintage and quad.
A not-to-be-missed event to discover during your stay. It’s also an opportunity to take in the resort’s history, spirit and joie de vivre, not forgetting press day and the Redbull sand session, as well as the village and its many attractions !
It’s an experience you’ll want to live to the full !
