The Lyon running event offers participants three race distances within the same city program: a 10 km, a half marathon, and the full Marathon de Lyon. The marathon itself is a 42.195 km road race held in Lyon’s 1st arrondissement, within the Rhône department, scheduled for October.
This event is classified as a running race, distinct from trail or multisport competitions. Its appeal is direct: a major city road marathon accompanied by shorter race options available on the same series.
