What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Mont Choisy's long, gently curving public beach and its casuarina-lined coastal park make it a distinctive setting for a night endurance event, offering flat, accessible terrain quite different from Mauritius's more famous inland and mountain trail races

02

The mystery stays covered

Structuring the event specifically around the sunset-to-sunrise timeframe frames it as a test of stamina through darkness as much as distance, a format that typically appeals to runners seeking overnight endurance challenges or to relay teams sharing the load across the night

03

The city starts moving

As one of Mauritius's most visited public beaches, Mont Choisy already carries strong local recognition, giving an event based there an accessible, well-known reference point even for participants unfamiliar with the island's more remote trail terrain
