Marathon du Vercors

The event in a few words

Ready to experience an extraordinary adventure in the heart of the mountains of Isère? 🌲 The Marathon du Vercors is an event you simply cannot miss! It's the very first road marathon in Europe at over 1,000 meters altitude! 🤯 Whether you're a fan of the 10 km, the half-marathon, or the marathon (also achievable in a 4-person relay 🤝), it's the perfect opportunity to lace up your sneakers and hit stunning routes, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of nature 🌿. Two hikes are also on the agenda 🚶‍➡️ with the " Sportive and Historical Hike" spanning 16 km and the "Gourmet Hike" covering 6 km 😋. Imagine yourself running through the lush forests and breathing in the fresh mountain air 🌬️. These road races 🛣️ promise breathtaking landscapes and an intensity that will make you feel alive! ⛰️ The routes are nestled within the largest regional park in France, between the towns of Villard-de-Lans, Lans-en-Vercors, Autrans, and Méaudre. You can even climb up to the Col de la Croix Perrin at 1,218 meters altitude ⬆️.

But the adventure doesn't stop there 🎉. After crossing the finish line, why not explore the surroundings? You could discover the charming city of Grenoble just an hour's drive away, where the Bastille offers you an incredible panoramic view of the region. For thrill-seekers, the Vercors Regional Natural Park awaits you for a hike or a mountain biking excursion! 🚴 And to top it all off 👑, a romantic getaway to the Lac de Monteynard-Avignonet is perfect for unwinding and enjoying an enchanting setting 🌅. But if you prefer a family nature moment, the Aquarium des Tropiques in Allex offers a fascinating visit! 🧡
