The Toulouse Métropole Marathon having disappeared from the circuit, running enthusiasts must fall back on other cities in the region. That’s good, two marathons are organized in Albi (Tarn) and Montauban (Tarn and Garonne) this spring.
Albi Marathon on April 17
The Albi marathon in the Tarn returns on Easter Sunday, Sunday April 17, 2022. After creating a unique foot race on the motor circuit, on November 7, 2021, the organizers voted to a classic marathon, 42and editing. It is the second oldest in the country after Paris (the first edition dates from 1979). And there won’t be just one race. There will be three! 10 km, half marathon and marathon.
After a first part in town with passage in the most beautiful districts of Albi, the runners will tread the historic route of the marathon which passes through Saint-Juéry, then makes a round trip in the Tarn Valley. With each time, a passage in two tunnels (narrow) of 900 and 350 m.
Departures will take place at 8:45 a.m. (marathon and half-marathon) and 9 a.m. (10 km).
Montauban Marathon on March 26 and 27
The town of Ingres is organizing the 14and edition of his marathon, over two days. On Saturday March 26, 2022, the Cours Foucault will be reserved for young athletes with “T’es pas cap”, a race reserved for 6-12 year olds.
On Sunday March 27, 2022, place in the 10 km, half-marathon, relay marathon and marathon. Around the race, various sporting and musical events will be organized at the Jacques-Chirac Sports Palace, near Eurythmie… Other events will brighten up the Marathon village, with the installation of a gourmet market. A little extra for runners: free shuttles and daycare for 4-12 year olds.
Finally, fans of walking rather than running can take advantage of the heritage walk or the nature and sports walk, 4 to 6 km long.
