About the Event

Step into the pages of a living history book at the 4ème Marathon de Chinon. This increasingly popular marathon, scheduled for Sunday, 12 April 2026, offers a limited-entry, qualifying race through one of the Loire Valley's most iconic landscapes. Starting in the shadow of the majestic medieval fortress of Chinon, the certified 42.195 km route unfolds along the scenic banks of the Vienne River, taking runners through vineyards, past historic villages, and under the watchful gaze of ancient troglodyte caves. As a qualifying event, it attracts serious runners seeking a personal best, while its capped field of 3,200 ensures an uncrowded, high-quality experience. The event weekend also features a sold-out half-marathon and 10km, creating a vibrant festival of running in the heart of France's château country. Prepare for a breathtakingly beautiful and historically rich marathon that is as challenging as it is unforgettable.
