Annecy Lake Marathon

The Annecy Lake Marathon is a sporting event that takes place once a year in Annecy and has continued to grow in importance. What's more fun than to go around the lake and mountains in a good atmosphere in the middle of nature!

The Annecy Marathon is especially famous for its high quality of organization. Also, the candidates who participate in it are effective. The top 10 finishes will be among the "TOP 10" of the best marathons in France.

It is not only the adults ones who can take part in the Marathon, there are also races for the youngest ones from 7 to 15 years which are scheduled to encourage them more to appreciate the sport. This is a half-marathon that completes the schedule of the party.

Several cities are joining Annecy to make of the event a success. This concerns in principle  the cities of Sevrier, Saint-Jorioz, Duingt and Doussard. It is in some way an international event that particularly captures a large audience.

The Annecy Lake Marathon is meant to bring together French and international runners, whether amateur or seasoned. Each competitor has the opportunity to choose his race course (rolling or single-decker) and to determine his own record.

As for the Half Marathon, more than 6,000 members travel each year to Lake Annecy to run and explore the green coast on the west side of the latter. For spectators, this is an ideal opportunity to watch athletes excel and excel beyond their limits, in a positive and festive atmosphere.

The departure and arrival is obviously in the city of Annecy. The riders start by taking the west bank of the lake and finish somewhere in the city center (the place of arrival changes every year). The Marathon is awarded an international FFA label and occurs mostly in the month of April.
