About the race
L'Ultra Marin is a multi-day trail event taking place around the Golfe du Morbihan. The 22nd edition is scheduled for 23 to 27 June 2027. The event gathers several races over coastal and island landscapes, with daytime and nighttime running across the program.
Eight main races are offered, in individual and relay formats:
- Grand Raid : 175 km (individual)
- Grand Relais : 175 km (team of four)
- Raid : 100 km
- Réveil des Ducs : 70 km
- L'Arvor : 60 km
- Ronde des Douaniers : 34 km
- La Vénète (marche nordique) : 29 km
- Course des Marins : 13 km
Registration is by lottery for the main races; some categories are exempt (children, press, elites, invited, partners, volunteers, solidarity and company entries, bourse transfers, and privileged accesses). The organisation reserves 50% of lottery-allocated bibs for residents of Brittany (departments 22, 29, 35, 56); this quota is applied across the whole event and is weighted by race based on recent participation. Key registration steps include priority windows, a registration lottery, a payment deadline for selected entrants, and a secondary market for bib transfers (bourse aux dossards) with transfer fees.
Options listed by the organiser include a collector T-shirt, coaching subscriptions, shuttle buses from Vannes for several races, an option to donate the finisher medal value to L'Ultra Marin Horizons, SMS result service, and charitable bibs priced at €400 with tax-deduction potential.
