The experience
The run follows the walking route at a sustained pace. The flat shoreline of Utah Beach and the sand flats of Omaha Beach suit it particularly well: the line is continuous, low tide opens the passage on the sand and the stops are made under the blockhouses.
Programme
- Meet-up, safety briefing and warm-up on the beach.
- Grand Tour: guided run along the beach or the coastal paths.
- Petit Tour: 2 h format, limited to the seafront.
- Projection stop inside the blockhouses, out of the wind.
- Back to the meeting point, with a souvenir photo.
What is included
- Souvenir of the experience and photo.
- A 4 h or 2 h format, adapted to the pace of the group.
