Aptly named! This 25km race, with 530m of ascent, promises an enchanting and demanding route. Starting from the Les Herbiers equestrian park at 9.20am on Sunday 21 December 2025, 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 passages, the Magique offers a total immersion in the Vendée countryside, enhanced by the magical atmosphere of Christmas. It's a not-to-be-missed event for those looking to combine performance and wonder!
