On Saturday, October 10, 2026, the Île de Ré hosts the second edition of *L'Échappée rétaise*, a nature run that invites participants to discover the island's landscapes from a new perspective.
Organized by the Run In Ré association, this sporting event also supports a good cause: proceeds go to the *Bouger contre la SLA* (Move Against ALS) association.
Book your stay at our Île de Ré hotel now to take part in *L'Échappée rétaise* or to cheer on the runners!
Starting from Les Portes-en-Ré, runners can choose between two distances: 10 km or 20 km.
Whichever route they choose, they will traverse some of the island's most beautiful scenery: beaches, coastal paths, forest trails, salt marshes, and pine-lined roads.
The 20 km race starts at 2:00 PM, followed by the 10 km race at 2:15 PM. Races are also organized for children, allowing the whole family to join in this day of sport.
Beyond athletic performance, *L'Échappée rétaise* celebrates the joy of running together in an exceptional setting.
The friendly atmosphere, the encouragement from volunteers, and the stunning scenery make this event a favorite among both athletes and spectators.
It is also a wonderful opportunity to discover the northern part of the Île de Ré via a varied route that blends ocean views with unspoiled nature.
Just steps away from the beach and the center of Le Bois-Plage-en-Ré, the Élégance Suites Hôtel is the perfect place for a weekend combining sport and relaxation.
You will appreciate the comfort of one of our 8 suites, featuring a king-size bed, a whirlpool bath, and a private terrace.
You can also relax in the hotel's heated outdoor pool or enjoy the spa complete with sauna, steam room, and Jacuzzi before setting off to explore the island.
