Reims Champagne Run
SAT OCT 10
The Reims Champagne Run is an October race weekend held in Reims, located in France's Marne department within the Grand Est region. This event is the renamed version of Run in Reims, now offering road races, trail races, a relay, and children's events, moving away from a single-distance format. The race distances range from the 3 km Course des P’tits Rèmes for children up to the 87 km Sacré Trail. Included are a 5 km, the 10K de Rémus, the Semi des Rois half marathon, a 42 km Sacré Trail, and a four-person Sacré Trail relay. The road races highlight central Reims instead of directing runners immediately out of the city. The 10 km and half marathon are FFA-certified, utilize start corrals and pacemakers, and pass notable landmarks such as the Porte de Mars, the Basilica Saint-Remi, and Notre-Dame Cathedral. The longer Sacré Trail distances introduce a more challenging nature-running aspect to the weekend. Consequently, the same event caters to children, novice 5 km participants, club runners aiming for a specific road time, relay teams, and ultra runners seeking an extensive day on the trails surrounding the Champagne region.
Marathon La Fortifiée
SUN MAR 21
Marathon La Fortifiée begins in Parfondeval, a village in the Thiérache region of Aisne, Hauts-de-France. This late-March road marathon covers the full 42.195 km. A relay option is available for teams wishing to share the distance. The race is closely linked to Parfondeval, recognized as one of France’s most beautiful villages, and is presented as the sole marathon in Aisne. The course combines village roads and rural paths, featuring enough elevation changes to discourage attempts at a personal best. A runner's account characterizes it as a low-key marathon with a pleasant atmosphere, helpful organizers, scenic surroundings, and several charming villages en route. The event maintains a small, local feel, yet its terrain offers more challenge than a flat city marathon.

Reims Training Notes

Reims hosts 3 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 Parc de Champagne, Hautes Promenades, Parc Léo-Lagrange, Parc Saint-Remi, and the canal when they want clean Z2 without overthinking it. Spirit of run keeps things serious but friendly, with eight coached sessions each week at the STAPS track, Parc de Champagne, the canal, and the Montagne de Reims. The club trains on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, so intervals and long runs are easy to plug into. The Reims Marathon anchors the calendar, and Les Etapes Rémoises, La Foulée des Sacres, Les Bacchantes Reims, and the Reims Champagne Run keep bibs coming.

Locals ride the Canal de l'Aisne à la Marne when they want flat base miles, then they point the bike west or south when the legs need work. CYCLO CLUB REMOIS rolls every Wednesday and Sunday, and its Brevets of 100, 150, and 200 km start from Basilique Saint-Rémi. The BCMR brings the Montagne de Reims into focus, with 1,000 to 1,500 cyclists expected. The climbs sit on the Montagne de Reims, the Massif de St Thierry, and the Côte des Blancs, where vineyards, forests, and chalky white tracks make gravel feel proper.

May to September gives Reims its best training block, with steady road miles, gravel days, and long rides through the wine region. Summer keeps the legs busy, because Cross trail tordu is scheduled for July 7th and the Tour de France visited Champagne on July 7th, 2024. The bike trip season also runs best from May to September, so locals stack Z2 before chasing the hills. Winter changes the feel fast, because Reims has an oceanic climate prone to cold extremes and Les Etapes Rémoises "Foulées Hivernales" is scheduled for February 25th.
