The La Tranche-sur-Mer Half-Marathon: a sporting event between nature and the ocean
Organized by CAP La Tranche-sur-Mer, an association founded in 2024 by sports enthusiasts, the event returns for its second edition with a clear ambition: to offer a friendly, accessible and immersive race, as close as possible to the Vendée coastline.
