The 2026 edition of the Gustavialoppet, the traditional 10-kilometer “As” race organized by ASBAS (the Saint Barth Association of Friends of Sweden) and the Collectivité, scheduled for Sunday, November 8, is fully booked with 250 registered runners.
The records to beat are 32 minutes and 38 seconds—set in 2021 by Michel Pradel of Guadeloupe—and 35 minutes and 19 seconds for the women’s race—set in 2023 by Cécilia Mobuchon.
Also on the schedule for Sunday, November 8, is the 5-km acclimatization race, which is limited to 150 participants. Once again, the event is sold out! In fact, several dozen runners are on the waiting list.
The awards ceremony will take place once all runners have crossed the finish line located on the Wall House plaza, around 9:00 a.m. To ensure participants can return to their vehicles parked in Saint-Jean, a shuttle service has been organized by the Collectivité.
