The Lake Annecy Marathon takes place on May 10, 2026, beginning and ending in Annecy city center. This event features races suited to various levels, including a full marathon, half marathon, and shorter distances. Runners follow a carefully marked course around Lake Annecy’s perimeter, offering a predominantly flat route with occasional gentle inclines. The path runs alongside the lake, allowing participants to run with clear views of the surrounding alpine landscape and the lake’s calm waters. The race attracts athletes from across Europe, creating a lively and competitive atmosphere. Support stations are placed regularly along the route, providing hydration and snacks. The city center serves as a hub for race activities, including pre-race registration and post-race celebrations. Spectators can enjoy watching the race in several spots, especially near the start and finish lines, where there are facilities and entertainment. The event is well-organized with medical support and clear signage throughout. Whether running the full marathon or a shorter race, participants will benefit from the refreshing mountain air and well-maintained roads. This marathon is an excellent opportunity for both serious runners and recreational athletes to engage in a well-supported sporting event with beautiful surroundings.

Tips for Attending

•Register early as spots fill quickly, especially for the full marathon.
•Wear running shoes suited for pavement and bring layers due to variable mountain weather.
•Use the water and snack stations along the course to stay hydrated and energized.
•Check the official website for race packet pickup details and race day schedule.

Practical Information

Wear breathable, moisture-wicking clothing suitable for spring weather in the Alps, which can range from cool to mild temperatures.
