Overview

The world’s biggest sand bike race is back in 2025! This legendary sporting event in extreme conditions brings together some 2,700 riders every year. A legendary race, the Enduropale du Touquet-Pas-de-Calais is a must for speed lovers, sand and sea spray. Enduropale du Touquet-Pas-de-Calais is an enduro bike – and now quad – race that’s taken place on the beach at Le Touquet, France, every year since 1975. It was the brainchild of adventurer, racer and founder of the original Paris-Dakar, Thierry Sabine, who was approached to develop an event to bring people to Le Touquet during the off-season, and its success provided Sabine with some of the motivation to create the Paris-Dakar Rally in 1978.
