RACE / Trail du Crédit Mutuel: a big congratulations to all the participants and the organizers! | FAXINFO

April 21, 2023

The first edition of the “Trail du Crédit Mutuel” organized by the sports club “Dream Of Trail” was held on Sunday April 16 in a good mood!

The departures of the three races offered were given from the end of the Fort Louis Marina pier in Marigot, and the arrivals took place in the Galisbay car park.

In total, 143 registrants from the French and Dutch parts, but also from Saba, Guadeloupe, France, as well as representatives from Brazil and the United States set off for this "nature" running discipline, on various surfaces.

All participants finished in style with the ascent of Fort Louis, including the passage around the flag at the top please!

The 7 km Urban Discovery Trail took 85 walkers and runners (including 54 women) on the Sentier des Douaniers. A relatively short route accessible to all levels with a bit of training, but quite intense, especially with a surprising vertical tarmac hill!

The longer routes – 17 km and 25 km (respectively 36 and 22 participants) – led more experienced runners and trail runners to Bellevue to admire the island from even higher, offering beautiful passages through the paths undergrowth and in steep hills and gullies.

The event was made possible thanks to all the volunteers who oriented, secured, hydrated and encouraged the participants, and thanks to the support of Crédit Mutuel, Tri Sport, Gym Fit, Quiksilver, Caribbean Runner and Instant Floral.

Thank you also to the physiotherapists on arrival, to Isabelle, to the amateur and professional photographers, to the landowners…
