Running in France

Finally free! Do you have a week to spare? A few days to go running? Take your map 🗺 of France, a good breath of air and let your mind wander. Whether for a road race, a trail or a walk, summer 🌞 or winter ❄️, the choice is difficult 🤨. In the worst case, you can throw a dice 🎲! Running in the city? Are you more of a Paris and its wonders, Lyon and its "petits bouchons" or Bordeaux and its wine 🍷? Or do you prefer the historical grandeur of France and dream of running alongside the most beautiful castles 🏰 of the Hexagon... Ah, are you craving seaside? Brittany with its countless landscapes and inimitable atmospheres will delight you, unless you prefer the large expanses of sand offered by the Arcachon Basin. Mountains ⛰ to stuff yourself with endless oxygen? France is dotted with mountain ranges all as beautiful as each other. The Alps or the Pyrenees? The Jura, the Vosges or also the Massif Central can also be great playgrounds. Corsica, Martinique or Guadeloupe are extraordinary territories surrounded by the sea which will offer you unique running sensations. If you want soft-curved landscapes, you can turn to the Cévennes or the Tarn, places where it is good to live. Where you can discover the flavours of Pélardon and Chichoulet, two regional specialities... That's also part of running in France! The good news in all this is that whatever your choice, you will be happy! Wherever you go, your eyes and taste buds will be delighted 😍. We said spoiled.

You have finally chosen your destination? Are you more of a road racer, do you love the City of Lights, you have surely already noted in your diary the dates of the Schneider Electric Paris Marathon, the 20 km de Paris and the Harmonie Mutuelle Semi de Paris... Further south, the Marathon de Bordeaux Metropole, the Marathon de la Rochelle Serge Vigot and the sunny Marseille Cassis are hard for you to miss... If you prefer adventure, trails and elevation, some unmissable races exist in the trail calendar in France... The UTMB is well known to runners around the world, the Asics SaintéLyon (night race from city to city) is wildly successful, while the Festival des Templiers has been a delight since 1995. Walkers will also find their happiness. And if that's not enough, the calendar of walks in France, is here! Really. There's something for everyone and all audiences! Moreover, many races in France 🇫🇷 think about your family and your children, like races in theme parks or costume races 🦹🏼‍♀️.
