British and Canadian Forces arrayed across a broad coastline
Juno/Gold Beaches on D-Day
Later landings due to tides. Experienced German defenders dug into fortifications on the bluff. Massive artillery defenses and heavy armor close by in Bayeux. Brilliant tactical successes by Canadian infantry and British armor, supported by a massively effective British Naval bombardment.
Run. Swim. Walk. Hike. Learn. Be Moved.
The Event
30+ kilometers. Run & Bike format, with teams of two sharing a mountain bike, first along the coast on the high bluff above the beach, then through forests and towns ending at the dramatic British Memorial. Three educational walks to steep you in the depths of the history here.
