Sports events Métropole lilloise

An international sporting event, the Lille Half Marathon is a running race organized by the Ligue Hauts-de-France d'athlétisme in March, to celebrate the return of spring. To take part in this race is first and foremost to set yourself a challenge and surpass yourself to cross the finish line. But it's also about discovering Lille's heritage, the Grands Boulevards and the Citadelle in a whole new light, thanks to routes that cross the heart of the city, welcoming thousands of people for the occasion in a very friendly, festive and supportive atmosphere.

The Route du Louvre is a renowned event that links Lille and Lens via several routes adapted to the sporting abilities and desires of each participant. Whether it's a hike, a trail or a run, participants can push their limits in a sporting, festive and cultural atmosphere that's part city, part nature. Whatever their route, they discover the rich cultural heritage of the Hauts-de-France region, the beauty of its sites against a backdrop of mines and slag heaps, and then meet up in the gardens of the Louvre-Lens to celebrate the end of their efforts in style!
