France is one of the most romantic countries on earth. It is also a country that has vast scenic places with wide open spaces, just perfect for running around, literally. Home to some of the most spectacular marathons, the French know how to put on a race.
From the Master des Neiges, which is an 11km snow race through the Northern Alps to the Paris Marathon, which runs through the heart of the city, there is no shortage of marathons for athletes to choose from.
Hosting some of the most arduous adventures, France has something for the beginner to advanced. Rich in history, culture, and architecture, the best way to see it all is on foot. From half to full to ultra marathon, there is something for every runner.
The marathon course was well thought out and very enjoyable - water and food stations were evenly distributed and staffed by friendly and encouraging volunteers. My favorite part was seeing families and especially young children ecstatic about the event and cheering on the runners every step of the way - it was a very family friendly event with many kids and friends and family members crossing the finish line with their marathoners. The whole city turned out to observe the marathon which made it feel like I was not alone. Truly enjoyed my first marathon and cannot wait for the next one !
