Durance Half Marathon and 10 km 2026

Like last year, the Durance will be the stage for the passage of many runners! 🤯 That's right! The Durance Half Marathon and 10 km awaits you in November, and you'll need to be quick to dive in: only 1,100 participants will be able to line up at the start of the event! 😅 It's in Charleval-en-Provence 🏘️, in the Bouches-du-Rhône that you'll run under the gentle sun of November 🗓️. You'll dive, not into the Durance, but into a real postcard 🖼️: fields as far as the eye can see, garrigue scrubland, olive trees... Provence in a nutshell! 🌞 In the distance, you might even spot mountains: the Chaîne des Côtes, whose highest point is Mont Trésor, nestled at 398 meters above sea level ⛰️.

As its name suggests 🤓, you can choose between two events: the Half Marathon or the 10 km! You'll see, whether you're a beginner or a podium regular 😎, the courses are accessible to everyone. So accessible that you'll need to watch out for the rockets 🚀 who will be there to go for a fast time! ⏱️ They often say that "Brittany grows on you", but we often forget that Provence brings good luck! 🍀 So you'll need to give 200% on these straight, flat courses to try and get good news on your watch once you've crossed the finish line 🏁. Starting from Charleval, you'll run through the fields between Mallemort and La Roque-d'Anthéron 🌾. From km 6, you'll run alongside the most important river in Provence: the Durance 💦 (hence the name of the race, obviously 😌). This course in the heart of nature will give you a real breath of fresh air 💨. Plus, this flat route will let you beat your time over this legendary distance 💥.

By the way, what do we do after the Durance Half Marathon and 10 km? You know as well as we do: after the effort, it's time for comfort ! 💆‍♀️ We're not suggesting you take a dip in the Durance, it might turn into a cryotherapy session 🥶. To soothe your sore muscles, go visit Charleval instead! 🥰 Its 17th-century castle is worth the detour. As you wander the village's little streets, you'll quickly notice a small peculiarity ☝️: the streets are all perfectly straight, the alignment is flawless! 📐 On the other side of the river, you'll find the legendary town of Puget, known for its olive oil 🫒.

The race starts right now: 3, 2, 1... To your bib! 🎽
