Roc D’Azur October 2023, the world’s leading mountain bike event

The world's leading mountain bike event, comprising both races and trade fairs, is expecting 20,000 participants, 300 exhibitors and 150,000 visitors to the Base Nature François Léotard in Fréjus and on the trails of Roquebrune-sur-Argens. 

And if the figures make your head spin, it is because the Roc d'Azur attracts thousands of cyclists from the four corners of the globe. With races for everyone, professionals and amateurs, experts and novices, adults and children, it is the must-attend event of the 2022 cycling season. As well as the Massif des Maures, this year the Roc D'Azur will be expanding its playground to include forays into the Massif de l'Estérel in the municipality of Saint-Raphaël.
