Postponement of Legends Trail Benin
Unfortunately we felt that we had to postpone Legends Trail Benin to a not yet known date in the future. Given the unrest in neigbouring countries Burkina Faso & Niger which sometimes crosses over the border into Northren Benin, we consulted with the Belgian Embassy in Benin and decided that it would not be appropriate to organize the race at this point.
Once the National Park reopens and the security situation improves, we will evaluate the situation, again consult with the Belgian Embassy and hopefully can give a go for a date.
If you want to stay informed on the progress and when we have set a new date, you can leave your email address here.
The RACE
The race takes you through the Atacora Region in North Benin, passing through authentic villages over steep hills, single tracks and red dirt roads.
The EXPERIENCE
We not only offer you an exciting race, but also a taste of what West-Africa has to offer you.
The TEAM
Legends Trail Benin is brought to you by the people you know from Legends Trails in cooperation with local Beninese partners. Want to find out who?
As soon as possible, the Legends Family will go international and organize a Legends Trail 250K in the beautiful country of Benin in West Africa.
We will also have a multistage race, 3 days/stages of 50K each, with a possibility to sleep in a tent in between stages.
The hilly Atacora Region in north Benin is an ideal location to bring our concept to the tropics. A challenging route that starts near the National Park Pendjari will take you through a varied scenery, authentic villages to the finish line in Boukombé.
Of course our Legendary team will be there to assure the quality of the race, the checkpoints, the food, and everything else, while working closely together with the locals.
Join us for a week of discovering this beautiful country, while also testing your limits during the race itself!
