La Santez Helen La course nature de la ria d'Etel

Join us for the tenth edition of Santez Helen on Sunday, September 6, 2026, in Sainte Hélène sur Mer (56). This year's race offers two scenic routes to choose from: a shorter 9-kilometer course and an extended 19-kilometer option. The 9 km route takes runners through the lush woods and coastal paths of the commune, while the longer distance delves deeper into the beautiful winding trails along the Ria d'Etel.
Both courses showcase stunning natural landscapes that will delight nature enthusiasts. Every participant receives a gift upon completion, with additional prizes awarded by random draw for items such as oyster baskets and vegetable hampers. The first male and female finisher in each race category also receive vouchers as rewards. Additionally, the association with the highest number of participants is gifted an oyster basket.
Registration closes at 12:00 PM on September 5th through Klikego for online payment—€11 for the shorter course and €14 for the longer distance. Race day activities kick off early in the morning; runners are advised to arrive by 9 AM, with race starts scheduled at 9:30 AM for the 19 km route and 10 AM for the 9 km run.
Participants must present a valid Pass Prévention Santé (PPS) or an up-to-date athletics license when picking up their bibs on-site no later than 30 minutes before race start. Bib collection will be handled at the event venue, located near the Salle Beg er Lann route de Plouhinec.
