Enduropale 2027 Le Touquet

The Enduropale du Touquet Pas-de-Calais returns from Friday, January 29th to Sunday, January 31st, 2027 for its 51st edition. Three days to experience the passion of sand racing and enjoy a winter getaway on the Opal Coast. The dates have now been confirmed by the organizers : it's time to plan your trip and choose your accommodation.
At Villa Vent Couvert , we welcome you to the Touquet forest, to enjoy the comfort of a guest house after a day on the slopes.
On Sunday, January 31st, three hours of racing on the sand
The start, the spray of sand, the tracks that deepen with each pass: the Enduropale is experienced as much with the eyes as with the ears. Even without being a motorcycle expert, you'll be captivated by the spectacle and the effort of the riders.
For 2027, the published regulations stipulate the main event will take place on Sunday, January 31st, from 2 pm to 5 pm , with a maximum of 1,300 motorcycles entered.This time slot is included in the provisional schedule; it remains to be confirmed as the weekend approaches.

How to organize your weekend in Le Touquet?
To make the most of the three days, consider arriving on Thursday, January 28th , subject to accommodation availability. This will allow you to settle in before the event begins.
If you're coming mainly for Sunday's race, arriving on Friday or Saturday allows you to get your bearings before the big event. Plan your route to the seafront and book your restaurant in advance: it's better to have these details sorted so you can dedicate your day to enjoying the spectacle.
On Sunday, allow yourself enough time to reach the spectator areas before the start. And if your schedule permits, extending your stay until Monday, February 1st, will give you time for dinner and a final night at the venue after the race.

Before your departure, check both access to your accommodation and the route to the spectator areas. This will allow you to plan your day and your return trip after the race.

- Warm clothes, a hat and gloves.
- A windproof and waterproof jacket.
- Shoes suitable for sand and moisture.
- Earplugs to follow the races comfortably.
- An external battery to keep your phone available on the return trip.
