About the race
The Trail des Grands Fonds Mémorial Jean Bart is a trail running event held in Les Abymes, Guadeloupe, with start and finish in Boricaud (facing the Fleurival grocery) and arrival at the Boricaud primary school. The event offers two looped forest courses that run largely on coulées, traces, and forest paths on private land, featuring technical sections and notable elevation gain.
Distances include:
- 12 km with +500 m elevation gain, a technical forest route, accessible to runners aged 18 and over.
- 23 km with +1500 m elevation gain, a longer technical forest route that requires strong preparation.
Both courses are described as technical and forested, with varied terrain that includes trails and path sections. The event is organized by TRANSKA and takes place on 27 December 2026 in the Grands Fonds area of Les Abymes. The description provided by the organizer notes differing physical demands for each course; the shorter route is accessible to most adult runners while the longer route calls for a high level of preparation. The courses are looped with common start and finish locations in Boricaud. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
