Marathon d'Albi 2027

The Marathon d'Albi begins on the road before the Stadium and finishes on the athletics track. This late-April road-race series in Albi, Tarn, Occitanie, France, includes a marathon, half marathon, 10 km, and Handisport race. With over forty editions completed, it is a local fixture. The marathon and half marathon start together in the morning, followed shortly by the 10 km. Official pacers cover marathon targets from 3h30 to 4h30 and half-marathon targets from 1h30 to 2h00. The marathon starts with an urban section through Albi, passing the Grand Théâtre and the Cathédrale Sainte-Cécile before heading toward Saint-Juéry and the Tarn valley. The course is very flat, with about 38 meters of climbing and a few meters of altitude variation. It includes two tunnels, one approximately 900 meters and one approximately 350 meters, on both the outward and return legs. The half marathon follows the marathon course until its turn after Saint-Juéry, then includes the Renaudie hill on the return. The 10 km stays within the town over two urban loops, also passing the Grand Théâtre and cathedral, with a field capped at 1,500 runners. The half marathon also has a capacity limit, using bib exchange and a waiting list when entries are full. The race features a local pun: “Il te tarn d'y aller !”
