The inaugural M’Foa-Ndjindji ultra-trail, a 582-kilometer race organized by the Lion d’or multi-sports association, spanned seven stages from Brazzaville to Pointe-Noire in August 2026.

During the middle of the event, Flavien Diabakana held the lead in the general classification through the fourth stage, characterized by methodical effort management. The race saw significant athlete attrition due to the grueling course, with fewer than fifteen runners remaining from the initial group of approximately fifty at that stage.

By the conclusion of the eight-day event, Flavien Diabakana was declared the champion. He secured his victory by winning multiple segments, including the final 30-kilometer stage from Malélé to Pointe-Noire. The competition was marked by high difficulty, with only 16 of the approximately 80 original runners finishing the race. Participants faced challenges including rain, fog, and security concerns along National Road No. 1.
