About the Event

Experience the electric atmosphere of one of France's premier running festivals at the 44th Abalone Marathon de Nantes on the weekend of 25th-26th April 2026. This iconic event, famed for its incredible crowd support, offers four major races: the classic 42.195 km marathon, a popular half marathon, a 10km "Foulées de l'éléphant," and a corporate team relay, creating a vibrant celebration for all abilities. The redesigned but fully urban marathon course weaves through the historic streets of Nantes, culminating in the unforgettable finale of crossing the River Erdre on a unique floating pontoon to the finish at La Beaujoire. With the half marathon and 10km races already sold out just hours after registration opened for the 2026 edition, securing a spot in the remaining marathon or relay events is essential for those wanting to be part of this special weekend. Organized by OC Sport, the event is renowned for its impeccable logistics, festive village, and the passionate energy of the Breton public that carries runners every step of the way. Whether you're tackling the marathon distance for the first time or joining colleagues in the relay, the Nantes Marathon weekend promises an unforgettable blend of sport, city spectacle, and pure celebration.
