The Eiffage Race of the Millau Viaduct 2026

If you're looking for originality, you're in for a treat! Put on your best sportswear 👕 and head to Millau, in Aveyron, in the Occitanie region. You'll be running on a road unlike any other, beautiful, along the Tarn valley with the race of the Millau Viaduct. After a great round on the edifice, from up top, you'll feel invincible 💪. Little bonus (while avoiding sunstroke, if possible 😎): in May, the sun will beat down so hard you'll sweat, helping you reach your summer body faster! ☀️

One single distance of 23.7 kilometers with the Eiffage race, for a sensory overload 👀! After a start at the Boulevard de l’Ayrolle and a beautiful crossing of the town of Millau, you'll hit your stride feeling like you've got wings on the famous Viaduct 🌉 designed by Norman Foster, standing out from the cliffs of the France plateau. You'll see, you'll start your journey nice and easy, notably flat for the first 5 kilometers. Reaching the height of the viaduct, that's where it gets tricky 😬! First, you'll use the old construction lane that will make your sneakers climb under the giant 👟. At the top of the plateau, you'll have a 2.5 km crossing for a bit more clambering because the average slope is exactly 3.025%. Arriving at the Larzac, you take the same path and go back in reverse, with an unforgettable view of Millau and the Causses. You'll never see the glove city the same way again. You feel like a giant, don't you? 👌

Enjoy this great moment! Grab your selfie stick and capture your passage 📸. From this incredible achievement, listed as Grand Site of Midi-Pyrénées, you can pause to maybe admire from multiple spots around, another place particularly worth the detour: the Viaduct Expo. Aligot and Tripoux await to delight your stomach, surely famished after all these efforts. 🏃

Take the thrill of vertigo in stride, let yourself be swept away to breathtaking moments with the Millau Viaduct Race!
