Aptly named! This 25km race, with 430m of ascent, promises an enchanting and demanding route. Starting from the Les Herbiers equestrian park at 9.40am on Sunday 22 December 2024 (in two waves), it takes runners along the famous sentier des crêtes, culminating in the majestic Mont des Alouettes and the mysterious Maha forest.
With its panoramic views and enchanting wooded sections, the Magique offers a total immersion in the Vendée countryside, enhanced by the magical atmosphere of Christmas. An unmissable event for those looking to combine performance and wonder!
