Discussion Exceptional running races Europe

Hi guys.

Putting my racing calendar together and wonder whether to include any exceptional/weird/untypical running events.

Last year I did some trail ultra runs including one in Dolomites, night half marathon, local run in Slovakian Tatras and retro Eroica bike race in Italy.

Do you have any races that you will always remember?

MK6 - Marseille Cassis

10k up with 300m of elevation, 10k down through the Calanques national park.

Provided the weather is good, it's a great race. Registering opens somewhere in Q1 and you got go fast as it's limited to 20 thousand bibs. The race usually takes place on the last weekend of October
