Semi-Marathon Pegasus 2026

The Pegasus Half Marathon is a 21.1 km race held in Normandy. It begins at Pegasus Bridge in Bénouville and concludes at Stade Hélitas in Caen. Annually, it attracts nearly 5,000 participants and is part of the Marathon de la Liberté series, also serving as a qualifying event for the French championships. The course features 104 meters of elevation gain and passes through eight historically significant towns before arriving in Caen. The race's distinct character is rooted in its start at Pegasus Bridge, the first bridge liberated by the British 6th Airborne Division, establishing a direct connection to Normandy's wartime heritage. Demand is substantial, as evidenced by all 5,000 available entries selling out within four hours for one particular running.
