The Bordeaux Marathon returns to the calendar this Sunday 8 November 2026, after several years away. For this edition, the event announces 34,000 runners expected over three distances on the programme, within the framework of the Marathon de Bordeaux AG2R LA MONDIALE.
The breakdown of entries is provided across all the races: 10,000 bibs allocated for the 10 km, 15,000 for the half marathon and 9,000 for the marathon. The article also states that the female share reaches 40.1% across all distances, with an average age of 35.6 years.
The return of the flagship distance is presented as the highlight, with a race over 42.195 km. The course includes crossing both banks of the Garonne and passing by a range of iconic sites, with an organisation that features refreshments every five kilometres and at the finish.
To guide runners, pacing leaders will be on hand to target a time between 3:00 and 4:30. At the same time, the article explains that the half marathon will offer an immersion in the historic heart of the city, notably including the Triangle d’or, the Jardin public and the quays along the Garonne.
The organisers also plan a bib-collection set-up via a running village at the Parc des Expositions de Bordeaux, in Hall 1. It is stated that the village will be open on Friday 6 November from 10:00 to 20:00 and on Saturday 7 November from 09:00 to 19:00, with entry announced as free and open.
