If you like running on the flat, surrounded by nature and with supporters who send good vibes, you are in the right place. Here, the Brière unfolds its marshes, its paths and its quiet little corners, while you try to keep a decent breath.
What you will find there:
• A family event where everyone has their place, from record hunters to leisurely walkers;
• Pace leaders on the semi, 1h30, 1h45 and 2h00 to help you not explode at the 5th km;
• Regular refreshments (because we are not monsters) and big final refreshment to refuel;
• A lively village: snack bar, showers, toilets and lockers. Translation: you have no excuse not to come.
Course focus:
Two races to choose from: solo half-marathon or duo relay and popular 5 km. Add to that a Nordic walking and gallops for the little speedsters. The courses are simple, a single loop and zero risk of going in circles, traced between marshes, forests and peaceful hamlets. Ultra-rolling and perfect for slamming a time, this half-marathon attracts 2,200 runners each year. Joëlettes and adapted sports are also part of the game, because here, the race belongs to everyone.
Three good reasons to come:
• Try to break the event record: 1:08:10 for men, 1:19:40 for women, challenge accepted?
• A medal around your neck and a glass in your hand? No one judges. When a race passes through Saint-André-des-Eaux and Brière rhymes with beer, it's a sign of destiny.
• Get your qualification for the French half-marathon championships and add a little prestige to your calves
