The event in a few words

You’re about to take on a legendary route: Seine-Marathon 76! In the Seine-Maritime department, starting from Rouen, more than 15,000 runners gather every year to experience this unique moment 🏃. The month of September will already be well underway and autumn will be starting to show its face 👃. Luckily, you won’t be running in scorching temperatures 🍁. This sporting and festive 🥳 event is a true invitation to share, push yourself and discover the richness of the local heritage. Seasoned and occasional athletes, young and not-so-young—everyone is welcome at the Seine-Marathon 76. The main goal of the race is to enjoy a friendly moment around a love of running! Come on—lace up your shoes and get into the Seine! 🎭

Across 4 distances, you’re going to move in every direction 🤪. Small but charming, the "5 km MATMUT #BornToMove" was designed to be accessible to as many people as possible: adults, children, Sunday joggers or experienced runners. This untimed event lets you enjoy a great moment around a unifying idea: moving is good for your health ! In a great atmosphere, you’ll run (or walk) in nighttime and to music 🤗. If you feel up for a bit more, you can double the effort with the "10 km of Rouen"! ✌️ The fast course is ideal for beating your personal best ⏰. Want to get serious? 🤓 The 21.097 km of the Half-Marathon are a very good start! Finally, the marathon will let you enter the legend of a mythical race 🔥. Solo or in a 4-person relay to challenge your coworkers (format reserved for companies only), its 42.195 km route will take you through an urban yet varied course starting from the Departmental Council Headquarters. In short, you’ve got it: all of Rouen will reveal itself without shyness to the rhythm of your strides! 🏙️

The rest of your program is also all set. After your race, come stroll through the Jardin des Plantes 🌱 or in the Londe-Rouvray state forest 🌲. Don’t hesitate to stop by the imposing Notre-Dame Cathedral of Rouen ⛪️ or to go see the stake where Joan of Arc was burned and pay tribute to "The Maid" of Orléans

So, ready to put yourself in the spotlight of Seine-Maritime ? 🌊
