Mark your calendar for a historic milestone in French distance running: the 30th Anniversary of Les 30 Bornes de Saint-Paër, taking place on Sunday, March 1, 2026. For three decades, this event has stood as a bastion of tradition and athletic excellence in the Normandy region. Known for its "classic" feel and a route that rewards grit and consistency, the 30-kilometer distance serves as the ultimate bridge between a half-marathon and a full marathon. This special edition isn't just a race; it’s a celebration of thirty years of community spirit, sweat, and sporting history.
The course at Saint-Paër is legendary among regional runners for its scenic yet demanding layout. Participants will navigate a series of well-paced routes that wind through the heart of the countryside, offering a mix of flat-out speed sections and technical segments that test your mid-distance stamina. As a 30th-anniversary event, the 2026 edition promises an enhanced race-day atmosphere, featuring commemorative elements and a festive village hub designed to welcome both elite competitors and dedicated club runners from across the country.
Whether you are using the "30 Bornes" as a final high-intensity tune-up for a spring marathon or aiming to set a personal benchmark on this unique distance, the Saint-Paër experience is second to none. With limited spots available to maintain the race's high organizational standards, early registration is highly encouraged. Join us on March 1st to honor three decades of racing tradition and write your own chapter in the legacy of one of Normandy's most beloved running institutions.
