The Colmar Marathon has been a success that has been unfailing since its very first edition in September 2015. He's lining up more and more participants on his starting line! In 2020, this event takes place on Sunday 13 September from Colmar city centre, Place Rapp. From 9:00 am, the top is given with the start of the half marathon, followed by the start of the marathon, relay marathon and squadron marathon from 9:30 am. The route meanders between town, countryside and vineyards, where the villages of Wettolsheim, Eguisheim, Ingersheim, Katzenthal and Ammerschwihr follow one another in a joyful atmosphere, punctuated by applause and encouragement. A major sporting event that allows the profits from the races to be donated to various charities.

The Triathlon Alsace Club de Colmar is behind Alsace's only swimrun to date. Held in early September at the Colmar-Houssen nautical base, this fun and sporting competition consists of a sequence of swims (schwim) and runs (run). Depending on your age and physical condition, you can choose from a range of options. The solo or relay race comprises 4 sequences of 2.3 km of running, each interspersed with 200 m of swimming. The Kids Discovery for 8/11 year-olds includes 50 m of swimming and 500 m of running, to be completed twice. And for 12/15 year-olds, there's 150 m of swimming and 1 km of running to do twice!
