The Run des Vikings is staged in Bréhal, a small town in the Manche department of Normandy, on a Sunday in mid January. Adult races are offered over roughly 5.1km, 9.2km and 13.7km, alongside a 9.2km team challenge for squads of four and a separate walking event. The programme is compact and town based, with the shorter distances making it approachable for newer runners while the longest race gives more experienced entrants something to aim at through the winter months. Entrants should confirm start times, entry fees and the exact course with the organiser before travelling.

The event is scheduled for Sunday 10 January 2027 in Bréhal, in the Manche department of Normandy.
The challenge covers the 9.2km distance and is entered as a team of four rather than individually. Confirm the exact scoring and entry conditions with the organiser when you sign up.
Yes. The 5.1km adult race and the accompanying walk are the shortest and most relaxed options on the programme, and both suit first timers.
Mid January on the Normandy coast is typically cold, windy and often wet, so plan for low temperatures and changeable conditions. Bring layers and something windproof, and expect the ground to be soft in places after rain.
The races are based in the town of Bréhal. The precise start area, along with registration times, is confirmed on the organiser's event page closer to race day.
