On Saturday 22 March, the town of Beausoleil invites sports enthusiasts to take on a unique challenge – to climb its famous staircases.
Famed for its many stairs, Beausoleil welcomes sports enthusiasts from all over for a test of strength and concentration. The town boasts over 60 staircases, and one of them, which was recently renovated as part of the work on the Riviera line escalators, will host the original race.

With 427 steps in 5 sections, the climb is 350 metres long and has an elevation gain of 70 metres. Participants will have to show stamina, while negotiating steps that can be steep and unusually high.

From U17s to veterans, amateurs or experienced racers will be able to take part in the thrilling time trial. Many prizes await the winners in the different categories, and all participants will leave with a memento of the experience.
There are two races to choose from in 9 age categories: the SOLO race at €10 per person and the RELAIS race at €20 per team.
