Marathon, 10 et 20 km de Tours
The Marathon, 10k, and 20k de Tours begins at Place Anatole France, near the Loire River. Participants can choose from a 10 km, 20 km, or full marathon race, as well as handisport racing, Nordic walking, and youth races. This event is the largest running competition in the Centre-Val de Loire region, designed for participants of all abilities, including children, adults, walkers, marathoners, and disabled athletes. The courses incorporate Tours itself, passing landmarks such as the place du Monstre, the Château de Tours, Place Jean Jaurès, and the Jardin des Prébendes. A portion of the route follows the Loire à Vélo path. The event includes a festival atmosphere with local products at aid stations, music, a sports village, and Loire Running Valley activities like running-focused booths and themed discussions. Participants also receive practical race-day amenities, such as a return public transport ticket with their bib, cloakroom facilities at the start, and massages for marathon finishers.
