LE MARATHON VERT

Once again this year, the Rennes Green Marathon takes place on a course that is 100% urban, 100% Rennes, just like all six events that make up this annual two-day event. The marathon, of course, but also a 5 km women's race, a relay marathon, a duo marathon, a 10 km race and a 5 km family walk at night. There's something for everyone, and challenge-seekers won't be outdone: on the marathon section of the old course, 10% of runners finished in under 3 hours! Previously taking in the city's northern districts, this 100% urban approach is the result of the ecological aspirations that have been at the heart of this sporting event since its creation in 2011. In ten years, over a million trees have been planted in partnership with the Yves Rocher Foundation.
