Marathon 4 Alzheimer - Angers

The Marathon 4 Alzheimer in Angers is a French charity race series event supporting Alzheimer’s research. Located in Maine-et-Loire, Pays de la Loire, the Angers race emphasizes a relaxed atmosphere with no stopwatch rankings, allowing participants to run or walk. Runners can select a 10 km loop, a half marathon distance (two loops), or the full marathon. The event prioritizes fundraising alongside athletic achievement, encouraging participants to advocate for the cause and share their involvement online. Those unable to continue after 1 hour 20 minutes may stop and cheer on others, aligning with the event’s inclusive, community-focused design. A remote “connected neurorunner” option allows individuals to complete 42 km from any location. Post-race, Angers offers attractions like Terra Botanica, the Jardin des Plantes, the château, Cathédrale Saint-Maurice, Musée Jean-Lurçat, the Apocalypse tapestry, and local foods including gouline d’Angers, pomme tapée d’Anjou, and botteraux.
