In the month of May 🌸, when the spring mildness is at its peak 🌞, the town of Saumur, in the Pays de la Loire, hosts the Loire Marathon. Under a beautiful sun and mild temperatures 😌, perfect for swallowing miles, the department of Maine-et-Loire is the stage for one of the most beautiful events in France 🇫🇷. There are 3 different events on offer: a marathon (53 mD+), a half-marathon, and a combined event (tandem canoe 🛶 & running 👟), for those who love both earth 🪴 and water 💧. Original? That's the goal! 😏 Another good news: the 21 km and 42 km are open to para-athletes ♿️. More about the Loire Marathon ⬇️.
