Grésivaudan Marathon

The Marathon du Grésivaudan, including the Semi-Marathon and Grési'Courant 12 km, will take place on Sunday, May 31, 2026, with start and finish operations centered at Stade Philippe Agud in Le Versoud, France. The marathon and semi-marathon start on the runway of the Versoud airfield, while the 12 km race begins near the stadium.

All three races are non-labeled events. The marathon course is entirely flat and follows both banks of the Isère river, starting from the Versoud airfield. Aid stations are positioned every 5 to 6 kilometers depending on weather conditions. The semi-marathon shares the same start location, while the 12 km Grési'Courant is part of the Intercommunal Challenge of Grésivaudan.
