Le Trail de l'Estran

Le Trail de l'Estran is a 32km running trail along our coastline, where a significant part of the run has to be done on granite boulders often covered by slippery seaweeds, or in ankle deep water. The particular concept of this trail run is a bit vicious : its path crosses several shallow bays at rising tide, which means that the later you come there, the less you will be able to cut short through the bay, thus the longer your total running distance will be. This means that you have to start as fast as possible, and can not keep any spare energy for the end.

Looks like a tough running trail… nice action capture.

Good choice to photograph it, rather than run in it.

You've caught the essence of this endurance feat!

I missed this when you posted it. It sounds brutal, worse than any marathon I ever did. Plus wet feet are extra bad for causing blisters. Love how you captured the determination on his face.
