Running in Rodrigues

Often thought of as Mauritius’s little sister, Rodrigues has gained a reputation for many adventure sports but this year’s 9th edition of the Rodrigues Trail - its signature trail running event - on 4th November, secures it as a must-see running destination.

Trail runners can choose from 4 different courses from 7km to 50km criss-crossing the island with some incredible coast, beach and mountainous backdrops to savour.

The whole experience has a focus on promoting the ecological wellbeing, develoipment and community through the event.

The event has grown from just 300 participants in 2010 to around 900 this year with a mix of professional sportspeople and amateurs in a spirit of conviviality.
