About the Marathon de la Liberté

Remembrance and peace shape this Normandy festival, with the marathon as its longest event. The historical route gives the race a purpose distinct from a standard city marathon.

Course

From the Channel coast, runners pass communities tied to the D-Day landings before finishing in Caen. Rolling terrain and exposed stretches reward patience.
