Ekiden De Bourg En Bresse

Ekiden De Bourg En Bresse is a road-running relay held in Bourg-en-Bresse, located in the Ain department of eastern France. As an ekiden, teams divide the marathon distance among their members rather than having a single runner complete it. The official distance is 42.195 km, scheduled to begin at 09:00 during April, though the specific date remains unconfirmed. The course is described as very flat, featuring approximately 20 m of elevation gain over the entire relay. ENTENTE ATHLETICS BRESSANE is the organizing club, lending the event a local feel distinct from large city marathons. Its primary draw is simple: a full marathon distance, run by a team, on a route with minimal climbing in Bourg-en-Bresse.
