The event in a few words
You are about to embark on a legendary route: Seine-Marathon 76! In the Seine-Maritime department, starting from Rouen, over 15,000 runners gather each year to experience this unique moment 🏃. September will already be well underway and autumn will be starting to show its face 👃. Fortunately, you won't be running in sweltering temperatures 🍁. This sporting and festive 🥳 event is a true invitation to sharing, self-surpassing, and discovering the local heritage's riches. Experienced and occasional athletes, young and old, everyone is welcome at the Seine-Marathon 76. The main goal of the race is to have a convivial moment centered around the love of running! Get ready, put on your sneakers, and enter the Seine! 🎭
Over 4 distances, you'll move all around 🤪. Small yet charming, the "5 km MATMUT #BornToMove" is designed to be accessible to the widest audience: adults, children, Sunday joggers, or experienced runners. This free-paced event allows you to have a great time around a unifying idea: moving is good for your health! In good spirits, you'll run (or walk) at night and with music 🤗. Well, if you feel up for a bit more, you can double your effort on "10 km de Rouen"! ✌️ The smooth course is ideal to beat your record ⏰. Ready for more serious efforts? 🤓 The 21.097 km of the Half-Marathon is a very good start! Lastly, the marathon will allow you to enter the legend of a mythical race 🔥. Alone or in a relay of 4 to challenge each other with colleagues (formula reserved exclusively for companies), its 42.195 km route will reveal an urban course but varied at the start from the Departmental Hotel. Anyway, you got it, the whole of Rouen will unveil itself without shyness under the rhythm of your strides! 🏙️
Your program's continuation is also all set. After your race, come stroll in the botanical garden 🌱 or in the state forest of Londe-Rouvray 🌲. Don't miss passing by the imposing Notre-Dame Cathedral of Rouen ⛪️ or going to see Joan of Arc's stake and paying homage to "The Maid of Orléans"!
So, ready to step onto the forefront of Seine-Maritime? 🌊
