About the Event

Experience one of Europe's most breathtaking running weekends at the Brooks Marathon du lac d'Annecy on 18th-19th April 2026, a world-class festival set between the turquoise lake and majestic peaks of the French Alps. Organized since 1980 by Annecy Haute Savoie Athlétisme, the event offers a full range of distances: a 5km and 10km on Saturday, followed by the iconic marathon and a half marathon on Sunday, with Nordic walking and youth races completing the inclusive programme. The flagship marathon course is a true runner's dream, offering stunning, flat routes along the lake's pristine shoreline and through the charming "Venice of the Alps," providing incredible potential for personal bests against an unforgettable backdrop. With the marathon, half marathon, and 10km already on a waiting list for the 2026 edition, early registration for the remaining 5km and other activities is highly recommended to secure your place. The festival atmosphere is enhanced by extras like a pre-race pasta party and guided city tours, ensuring a complete and memorable sporting holiday in this idyllic destination. Whether you're an elite athlete chasing a fast time or a recreational runner seeking a spectacular challenge, the Annecy Marathon weekend delivers an unparalleled blend of natural beauty, French sporting excellence, and alpine hospitality.

About Annecy

Annecy, in the north of the French Alps, is called "the Venice of Savoie" — a well-deserved title. The medieval town centre built around a 14th-century chateau is dissected by small canals and streams running out of Lac Annecy, which is clean, fresh and a wonderful azure colour. Annecy is the prefecture of the département of Haute-Savoie.
