Semi-Marathon et 10 km de la Durance

Step into the heart of Provence with an unforgettable running experience at the inaugural Durance Half-Marathon and 10K. Set against the backdrop of Charleval-en-Provence, this charming village offers runners a unique blend of natural beauty and historical charm. Limited to just 1,000 participants, the race promises an intimate atmosphere where every runner is celebrated.
The event takes place in November when the sun still shines warmly over Provence’s picturesque landscapes. As you lace up your shoes for either the half-marathon or the 10K distance, prepare yourself for a route that winds through endless fields of garrigue and olive groves, creating an idyllic setting straight out of a postcard.
The course itself is designed to be accessible yet challenging, with its flat terrain offering both newcomers and seasoned runners an equal chance at success. For those looking to push their limits, the race presents a perfect opportunity to set personal bests as you sprint along the mostly straight paths that minimize elevation changes.
Beyond the finish line lies more than just accolades; it’s also about immersing yourself in the local culture. Post-race, take time to explore Charleval-en-Provence and its stunning 17th-century château. The village is known for its perfectly aligned streets that create a geometric beauty rarely seen elsewhere.
Don’t miss out on tasting olive oil from nearby Puget, renowned across France for the quality of its produce. This race isn't just about running; it's an invitation to embrace Provence’s rich heritage and natural splendor.
As you prepare to embark on this journey through one of France’s most enchanting regions, remember: every step brings you closer not only to a personal achievement but also to experiencing the unique allure that is Provence.
