Semi-marathon de Montargis

The Semi-marathon de Montargis is a 21.097 km road race held in Montargis, within the Loiret department of central France. It takes place in early spring, winding through the countryside. Starting and finishing at Champfleuri stadium, a significant portion of the route crosses the Montargis forest, lending it a more wooded and rural character compared to an urban setting. The event also offers a 5 km race, providing a shorter alternative to the half marathon. The course has its rolling terrain, considered fast enough for personal-best attempts, with pacing services available for participants aiming for a specific time. The finish occurs on an athletics track, offering a traditional stadium conclusion. The 5 km route consists of two laps on a measured, qualifying course. Organized by USM Montargis, the event holds a regional FFA label and is part of the Challenge du Gatinais. It is an established fixture on the local running calendar, known for its good turnout and lively race-day atmosphere.
