The historic Grand Bara International Race is making a comeback at the end of 2026 in an exceptional setting: a 15-kilometre course right in the heart of the Djiboutian desert.

For this 43rd edition, the Grand Bara International Race is being organised by the Djiboutian Athletics Federation (FDA) in partnership with the French Forces in Djibouti (FFDj), the event’s founders. This race is now part of the World Athletics network, which brings together the world’s most prestigious races.
