The event in a few words

Running offers quite amazing opportunities... 🤩 Running along the Lake Annecy, having it all to yourself for a moment, can you imagine? Well, it's now possible thanks to the Brooks Marathon of Lake Annecy! The event will take over the city for a weekend at the end of April 🌄. It's the perfect time to enjoy the sun and spring warmth! 💐 So put on your sneakers 👟, your socks, and your sunglasses 🕶️, because an incredible program awaits you ⏲️.

The association behind the Brooks Marathon of Lake Annecy 🏃‍➡️, is Annecy Haute Savoie Athlétisme 😁. They've been organizing the race since 1980 😯, which gives them a lot of experience, doesn't it? 😉 This year, the novelty is that the brand Brooks brings its running expertise to AHSA. So, you can count on a top-notch event 🫸, accustomed to excitement 🤯. And speaking of excitement, we can assure you that at Annecy 📍, you will experience a lot of emotions: the ones that motivate you 😍, stress you a little 🥵, but most importantly, those unique emotions that running provides 🤗.

Participants will have a choice between four races to join the celebration 🤟. The first race, we don't really need to introduce it anymore: it's the marathon 👑. A marathon that's a bit special because it takes the form of a round trip! ➰ Runners will turn around at Doussard 🤓. The marathon, like all other event races 😜, is very flat, so it might be an opportunity to aim for a record 🚀. Next, there's a semi-marathon, also in a round trip ➿. Then, the organization also offers a 10 km and a 5 km🤠. These distances are perfect for those wanting a first taste of an official race 👶, or those more experienced aiming to break their personal record 🏆. And even the little ones will be part of this grand celebration with a youth race of 750 meters 🤏. Lastly, for those who love taking their time to enjoy the scenery 👀, there's an option to sign up for a Nordic walk 🚶‍♀️‍➡️. So, as you can see, there are many events 🙌, so you really have no excuse: there's definitely a format made for you 👉.

Beyond the sporting aspect 🏋️, in Annecy, it's mainly the setting that's incredible 🖼️. Running by the lake 🚣, between the mountains ⛰️, with many supporters on the roads 👯‍♂️, because the atmosphere is always there in Annecy! 🥳 As you can see, this race has many advantages... ❤️ So, after the race, you can take the time to stay a few days in the Venice of the Alps 🎭. You'll discover the city differently, without the race excitement 🧘. You can appreciate the calm of the surrounding nature 🏞️. There are plenty of activities to do according to your desires 🥰. We suggest you head to the Col de la Forclaz, where you can admire magnificent sunsets, almost close to the stars! 🌟 And above all, don't forget to enjoy the local cuisine 🍽️, as you are in the right place for a treat. Specialties with raclette 🧀, tartiflette 🫕, fondue… it's mouth-watering 😋.

In short, participating in the Brooks Marathon of Lake Annecy, is more than a race 🏁, but truly an experience 🤪. You can share a moment of conviviality 🫶, solidarity with your loved ones 👪, and also with other runners throughout this weekend 😘.

Come on, the Brooks Marathon of Lake Annecy is waiting for you! 🙏
