On Saturday October 15, the 26th edition of the Raid Air Calédonie de l’Ile des Pins was held. The many runners came to the end of the 16.5km course crossing the kunié lands, starting from the church of Vao to finish the race in the bay of Kanuméra in the morning.

Great performances

Eric Concé and Oswald Cochereau finally share first place on the men’s podium, crossing the finish arch in the same stride after 1h13’69 of the race. A top 3 completed by Clémentin Vignau.

Among the women, Camille Gallais won first place in 1h38’47. Sonia Le Berre came second 5 minutes after the winner and Laure Lebleu completed the podium in 1h45’08.

Congratulations for all participants

Air Calédonie is proud to have been able to participate in the success of this major event, organized by its partner Challenge Organisation.

This beautiful day ended with a convivial meal and the awarding of prizes for the winners.

The 6 winners (3 first male finishers and 3 first female finishers) were awarded a prize each offered by the company.

And if the winners were spoiled, all the runners were able to leave the Isle of Pines with a small gift in the colors of Air Calédonie to congratulate them on their participation.

Congratulations to all the runners and see you next year!

Already associated with several local initiatives in the sports field, the company wanted to contribute to the cultural development of the territory. It is now done! Air Calédonie is proud to announce the conclusion of a partnership with Le Mouv’ NC.
