The Shared Race

You love running, your friends do too, and you have an altruistic spirit? Then relay racing is for you. There’s something for everyone, on all imaginable terrains! Go go go!

Have you ever run a relay race? For you, a relay might be limited to athletics and the famous baton. Or perhaps some less than glorious memories of your practice in middle school... It's time to turn the page and get into running relay races 🏃🏼‍♂️! The goal here is simple: share distances, whether short or long, with other runners. The relay race is run as well onroad as on trails, and in all seasons indeed. You can choose to run in the mountains, along the coast, or around a particular theme like heritage or theme parks! Whether it rains 🌧, winds 💨, or snows ❄️, nothing will stop your team. Well, in theory, because the relay race calendar offers some seriously challenging races 🥵. Look for yourself below!

Shall we "attack" the calendar a bit to have a look? If relay racing smells of sharing and smiles, the last laugh will be at Les Relais du Zembrocal Trail, a nearly 200-kilometer race on Le Grand Raid, a mythical race held on Reunion Island! If you pass the selection trial, this incredible long trail and the stunning landscapes of this French overseas department located in the Indian Ocean are yours. Closer, on the road this time but still by the seaside, the Marathon de La Rochelle Serge Vigot is very popular. This popular race offers its runners a two-person marathon. A chance to enjoy the scenery of this area, between land and sea! Still in the area, the Marathon International du Beaujolais is also a super fun event with its fancy dress races, and not to mention the wine heritage 🍷 to discover! Want more? Let's head slightly up the west coast. Still on the Atlantic, Morbihan, a little paradise, awaits you and your friends to compete in the Marathon de Vannes. Take a little time to stroll around the city; you'll see it's charming! In the south of France, the Marathon des Alpes-Maritimes Nice-Cannes is run each year by thousands of enthusiasts. Several relay formats are offered, check quickly on the race page. A two-person relay race or a relay race of three, four, five... or six!

Can't wait for the weekend!

Should it rain or snow
