Ultra des vagues is the longest trail of the Belle Ile en trail running event. Trailers run around the whole island, with several stunning views to enjoy. The refreshments were of good quality and quantity and with enough variations. Only 500 trailers could run it out of 10000 who tried to get a bib. I was very lucky to participate and discover such a beautiful French island.

An incredible experience at Kaçkar!

What a fantastic discovery and, above all, a real mountain adventure!

The course is beautiful, wild and completely different from what I’m used to, but be prepared because it’s definitely challenging. It’s technical, very steep in places, and the altitude adds another level of difficulty, with the 50K reaching over 2,800 m and the 100K going above 3,200 m.
A little advice: bring your poles and make sure you have the right mountain gear, because the weather can change quickly at altitude and conditions can become tough.

Beyond the race itself, what I really loved was the incredibly warm welcome and kindness of the Turkish people. So many smiles, friendly faces and great encounters throughout the whole trip.
The organisation was also excellent, with a helpful and attentive team. The welcome pack was really generous, and after all that effort, it was great to finish with a beautiful medal and a finisher fleece jacket.
Kaçkar is exactly the kind of trail running experience I love: mountains, sport, adventure, beautiful scenery and, above all, great moments shared with people along the way.

If you enjoy authentic and challenging trails in wild mountain environments, I can definitely recommend this race.

Personally, I’m leaving with some amazing memories and I’m already looking forward to coming back next year! 😍🇹🇷

Kaçkar was one of the most beautiful and memorable trail races I’ve ever experienced. The course takes you through breathtaking mountain landscapes, steep forests, and truly wild terrain. The slogan “Wild is the Trail” perfectly reflects what awaits you on the course.

The race is challenging, with demanding climbs and technical sections, but every step is rewarded with spectacular views. What impressed me most, besides the scenery, were the refreshment points. Despite having only two aid stations, they were exceptionally well stocked with everything a trail runner could need: sweet, sour and salty snacks, plenty of drinks, and even female hygiene products. It was honestly one of the best refreshment setups I have seen at any race (incl. ironman) so far.

The atmosphere before, during, and after the race was incredible. I met inspiring trail runners, exchanged stories, and we pushed each other through the toughest sections of the course. The sense of community made the whole experience even more special.

If you’re looking for an authentic mountain adventure with amazing people, outstanding organization, and unforgettable scenery, I can highly recommend Kaçkar. I will definitely be back!
