The shared race

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

Have you ever run a relay race? For you, a relay might be limited to athletics and that famous baton. Or maybe to some not-so-glorious memories from your school days... It's time to turn the page and get into relay running 🏃🏼‍♂️! The goal here is simple: share distances, short or long, with other runners. The relay race can be run on both road and trails, and in every season indeed. You can choose to run in the mountain, on the coast, or around a particular theme like heritage or amusement parks! Rain 🌧, wind 💨, or snow ❄️, nothing will stop your team. At least on paper, because the relay race calendar offers some serious challenges 🥵. Check it out for yourself below!

Shall we "kick off" the calendar a bit? If relay racing smells like sharing and smiles, the last laugh will be had at the Zembrocal Trail Relays, a race of nearly 200 kilometers on the Grand Raid, a mythical race held on Île de la Réunion! If you manage to pass the selection, you will experience this long trail and the magnificent landscapes of this French overseas department located in the Indian Ocean. Closer to home, on the road this time but still by the sea, the La Rochelle Serge Vigot Marathon is very popular. This popular race offers its runners a two-person marathon. A great opportunity to enjoy the scenery of this area, between land and sea! If we stay in the area, the Beaujolais International Marathon is also a super fun event with its fancy dress races, not to mention the wine heritage 🍷 to discover! Want more? Let's move slightly up the west coast. Still on the Atlantic, Morbihan, a little paradise, awaits you and your friends to compete in the Vannes Marathon. Save some time to wander around the town, you'll find it charming! In the south of France, the Alpes-Maritimes Nice-Cannes Marathon is run every year by thousands of enthusiasts. Several relay options are available, check the race entry. Two-person relay race or relay race with three, four, five... or six!

Can't wait for the weekend!
