The story

Savann'Adventure in Gros Bois

Savann'Adventure is an obstacle-course sports event held in Savannah and Gros Bois, southern Mauritius, organized by ENL Property's Savannah Connected Countryside initiative. The 2026 edition takes place May 23 over a 6km course running through sugarcane fields, featuring approximately 15 obstacles along the route. Open to participants aged 14 and over, the event combines endurance running with obstacle-course challenges set against Mauritius's agricultural landscape.

Each May, the sugarcane fields of Savannah and Gros Bois in southern Mauritius host Savann'Adventure, a 6km obstacle-course event that trades a purpose-built arena for open agricultural land.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

The place changes

Running the course through active sugarcane fields gives Savann'Adventure a landscape few obstacle races can match, putting participants directly into Mauritius's agricultural heartland rather than a purpose-built arena or urban circuit

The mystery stays covered

With around 15 obstacles spread across a 6km route, the event sits between a casual fun run and a full endurance obstacle race, accessible enough for a broad range of fitness levels while still delivering genuine physical challenge

The city starts moving

Organized by ENL Property under its Savannah Connected Countryside initiative, the event ties directly into a broader regional development project in southern Mauritius, giving it a purpose beyond the race day itself

The water draws everyone in

Opening participation to anyone aged 14 and over widens the event to families and younger participants rather than restricting it to adult endurance athletes
