Sports events Charente-Maritime

Ranked second among French marathons, the La Rochelle marathon takes place every year on the last weekend of November. In 2022, no less than 12,500 athletes came to run in the streets of La Rochelle on a flat course. Two loops and fast last kilometers, it does not take more to motivate the joggers! On the eve of the race, there was a "Leg Warmer", a tradition that allows runners to warm up. The public is always there!

The first village was used to meeting sportsmen. There are cyclists who are delighted to find flat roads after crossing the bridge, runners who enjoy a delightful view of the ocean, and those who frequent this ideally located fitness trail. Advantage? It is located on the southern beach, it is not only accessible to all, but also offers a very pleasant shade during the hot days. Not only will you do sports, but you will also be able to refresh yourself easily, the ocean is only a few meters away!

Rate: free of charge.

Difficulty: easy.

Traditionally, in La Rochelle two races are held in November. Before facing the marathon that took place at the end of the month, joggers can take to the streets of Port-Neuf. On the programme, 10 km on flat ground in a district not far from the city centre by the ocean. Forget the wind and cold, bring a pair of shoes and a windproof jacket! It should be noted that the start takes place on the "Colette Besson" playground, which won the gold medal in 1968 for the 400 metres at the Olympic Games in Mexico City.
