The story

Nosy Be Trail Madagascar in Nosy Be

Nosy Be Trail is a single-day trail race on Nosy Be with distances between 12 and 35km, with the 2026 edition scheduled for May 30. The event has historically included a demanding 32km course starting at the Exora Beach Hotel and running through the interior of the Lokobe mountains.

Nosy Be Trail offers runners a single-day route that moves from the island's coastline into the forested interior of the Lokobe mountains, an area known for its dense vegetation and biodiversity relative to the more developed beach areas that draw most of the island's visitors.
