Semi-Marathon de Sète
The Semi-Marathon de Sète is an October road race held in Sète, a port city in Hérault, Occitanie, situated next to the Thau Lagoon. The primary event is the 21.1 km half marathon, complemented by shorter 10 km and 5 km races, ensuring participation opportunities beyond just half-marathon competitors.
The race route features sections along the coast, a notable detail from the event's information. The event benefits the charity Les Dys Mille Pas. Its promotional materials highlight community, shared experiences, inclusivity, and personal challenge. The entry fees are set at 10 EUR for the 5 km, 15 EUR for the 10 km, and 25 EUR for the half marathon.
Marathon des Barjots
The Marathon des Barjots, held in December in Montarnaud, Hérault, France, is designed for runners who enjoy changing surfaces during a race. The name suggests that finishers must be somewhat "barjot," or crazy, as the marathon distance is divided into a challenging road section and a demanding trail section.
The initial 21.097 km take place on roads and include an ascent of nearly 500 m, presenting a strenuous start. Participants then reach a transition area for shoe changes and refueling, with the clock continuing to run, similar to a triathlon transition. The subsequent 21.097 km traverse technical and engaging singletrack trails, featuring difficult climbs and an additional 800 m of elevation gain. The event attracts a focused, competitive field, with one solo edition recording 126 finishers.
Ronde de la tam

Children's races are free and cover 750 m, 1,500 m, and 3,000 m.
The course consists of two 10.5 km loops for the 21 km race, and one loop each for the 10.5 km trail, 8.6 km Nordic walk, and 6.4 km walk. This is the event's 30th edition, emphasizing a local and festive atmosphere over formality.

The event supports the Arche de Noa charity in its efforts against cerebral palsy.

The race commences in front of the Esprit Gare cultural hall on Place Marcel Barrère in Maraussan. The course combines village streets with more open, natural terrain.

About Half Marathon races in Narbonne
Narbonne Training Notes
Narbonne hosts 13 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run easy from the city centre along the Canal de la Robine when they want flat Z2 without thinking. Parc des Sports Et de l'Amitié gives steady laps, and the Narbonnaise Regional Nature Park opens the door to trail legs. Trail de Fontfroide is the big anchor event, with 9 km, 10 km, 14 km, 35 km, and 55 km courses. Les Foulées du Parc keeps it sharp with 5 km and 10 km in mid-October. Courir pour Celian, Les sentiers de la Campane, Course du partage, and Urban Race Narbonne keep the calendar busy.
Locals ride the Canal de la Robine for base miles, then link EuroVelo 8 or Veloroute la Littorale when the legs need more road. Veloroute la Littorale gives 29 km from the centre, and the Port-la-Nouvelle canal path gives 22 km. EuroVelo 8 from Narbonne to Béziers runs 60 km with 77 m of ascent, so it feels more endurance spin than climber day. The Clape Mountains bring the real climbing feel, and Coffre de Pech Redon tops out at 214 m. GNT Events Triathlon Narbonne Plage, Triathlon de Narbonne Plage, and Isostar ExtremeMan Narbonne work as anchor efforts.
September and October suit Narbonne best because the heat backs off and the race calendar still has teeth. Summer gives warm water, with July averaging 22°C and August averaging 23°C, so locals go early, keep intervals short, and save longer Z2 for breezier hours. Wind averages 0 km/h, so exposed rides still ask for steady legs. Winter changes the feel more than the map, with January water at 13°C and February water at 13°C. Winter wind averages 2 km/h, so runners and riders dress for gusts.
