Run In Lyon offers four race distances through central Lyon: a 5 km solidarity run, 10 km, half marathon, and marathon. Held in October, it carries an FFA Label Argent, placing it within the official French road-racing system. Demand is high for the short and middle distances, with the 10 km and half marathon often selling out, while the marathon presents the longest challenge. The routes are urban, with spectators lining the roads. Lyon’s history, old streets, and culinary identity are integral to the race setting. Marathon runners should anticipate some climbing, with 293 meters of elevation gain. Practical race-day support includes bag drops, aid stations, and toilets at 5 km intervals and the finish, along with pacers for those aiming for a specific time. The Run In Lyon Village manages bib pickup and offers coaching, product testing, and photography, while charity bibs allow participants to race for a cause.
