Brooks Marathon du Lac d'Annecy

Running still offers some serious opportunities... 🤩 Run along the edge of the Lac d'Annecy, imagine having the space to yourself for a moment, can you picture it? Well, now you can thanks to the Brooks Marathon du Lac d'Annecy! The event will take over the town for a weekend at the end of April 🌄. It's the perfect time to enjoy the sunny days and the spring vibes! 💐 So lace up your sneakers 👟, your socks and your sunglasses 🕶️, because this is a pretty exciting lineup waiting for you ⏲️.

The umbrella organization behind the Brooks Marathon du Lac d'Annecy 🏃‍➡️, is the Annecy Haute Savoie Athlétisme 😁. They’ve been organizing the race since 1980 😯, which gives them huge experience, right? 😉 This year, the novelty is that the brand Brooks brings its running expertise to the AHSA. You can count on a top-notch organized event 🫸, known for its buzz 🤯. And speaking of buzz, you can be sure that in Annecy 📍, you’ll fill up on emotions: those that motivate you 😍, that stress you a little too 🥵, but above all those unique feelings that running brings 🤗.

Participants will have a choice of four races to join the celebration 🤟. The first race, we hardly need to introduce: the marathon 👑. A marathon with a twist, because it’s a return trip! ➰ The runners will turn back at Doussard 🤓. The marathon, like all the other races of the event 😜, is very flat so this could be a chance to chase a record 🚀. Then there’s a half-marathon, also as a return trip ➿. Next, the organization also offers a 10 km as well as a 5 km🤠. These distances are perfect for those who want to try an official race for the first time 👶, or for the more experienced looking to break their personal best 🏆. And by the way, even the kids will be part of this big celebration with a youth race of 750 meters 🤏. Finally, for those who enjoy taking their time to enjoy the scenery 👀, it’s possible to sign up for a Nordic walking 🚶‍♀️‍➡️. Well, as you can see, there are many events 🙌, so you really have no excuses: there’s bound to be a format that’s perfect for you 👉.

Beyond the athletic aspect 🏋️, in Annecy, the setting is just incredible 🖼️. Running along the lake 🚣, between the mountains ⛰️, with a ton of supporters on the roads 👯‍♂️, because the vibe is always on in Annecy ! 🥳 As you can see, this race has many strengths... ❤️ So after the run, you can take time to stay a few extra days in the Venice of the Alps 🎭. You’ll discover the city differently, away from the race buzz 🧘. You’ll get to enjoy the calm of the surrounding nature 🏞️. There are plenty of activities to suit your desires 🥰. We suggest, for example, visiting the Col de la Forclaz, where you can admire stunning sunsets, almost heads in the stars ! 🌟 And above all, don’t forget to sit down for a proper meal 🍽️, because you’re in the right place to treat yourself. Specialties like raclette 🧀, tartiflette 🫕, fondue… mouth-watering 😋.

In short, taking part in the Brooks Marathon du Lac d'Annecy , is more than a race 🏁, it’s an experience 🤪. You’ll share a moment of conviviality 🫶, solidarity with your loved ones 👪, but also with the other runners throughout this weekend 😘.

Come on, the Brooks Marathon du Lac d'Annecy is waiting for you! 🙏
