EKIDEN L'AMBASSADE DU TRAIL RODEZ 2026

EKIDEN L'AMBASSADE DU TRAIL RODEZ is a six-person road relay held in Rodez, a city in Aveyron, Occitanie, France. The team collectively covers the full marathon distance of 42.195 km, with each runner completing a section. It is typically scheduled for mid-June and is designed as a town race, offering a festive, family-friendly atmosphere rather than an elite-only format. The race begins at Place des Ruthènes. The initial legs consist of a 5 km run followed by a 10 km run. Professionals, club runners, amateurs, and mixed groups can all participate because the distance is divided among six teammates. The appeal is clear: a marathon effort divided into relay legs, run through Rodez, with sufficient team spirit and city atmosphere to feel both social and competitive.
