Foulées du Gois
The Foulées du Gois is an international road running race held annually on the Passage du Gois, a tidal causeway between Beauvoir-sur-Mer and the Île de Noirmoutier, France. The professional race, held over the submerged causeway, is from one end of the causeway to the other, a distance of .〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Association des Foulees du Gois )〕 A series of alternate races are undertaken earlier in the day, when the tide is not over the causeway, for youth and non-professional divisions; the adult non-elite divisions are in length, a round trip of the Passage du Gois.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Association des Foulees du Gois: Reglement )〕 The event is the second-most publicised in the ''département'' of Vendée, after the Vendée Globe round-the-world yacht race.〔 〕
==Racing history and records==
The idea for a race on the Passage du Gois was conceived in the late stages of 1986, with Jo Cesbron the founding president of the 'Foulées du Gois'.〔〔 The first event was held on June 20, 1987. The race takes place annually in early summer, most frequently in the month of June, due to the logistics of tide heights, daylight hours, and water temperatures; the race generally starts in the evening.
The professional race, which is limited to 30 competitors selected from French and international applicants, begins when the water first crosses the road. The leaders often finish with water up to their ankles, while those who have got caught in the rising swell are often forced to swim to the finish line.〔 The current record for the race is 12 minutes and 8 seconds, by French athlete and Olympian Dominique Chauvelier in the 1990 running of the event.〔
