Stories from those who ran it first.

From the joy of finishing to the tough moments — read what runners wrote themselves.

Race reports: 3
Clément LHERan in 2024 · Finish time 11:53:00
“I checked the result. It was 11 hours 53 minutes.”

Clément LHE took on the 100K challenge just 38 days before the race. He kept up a run-walk pattern of 9 minutes running and 1 minute walking, taking on supplies along the way, with bicycle support from his brother and encouragement from aid-station volunteers, and finished in 11:53. He recalled that although he had no time goal at first, he got there after a chase against the 12-hour pacer.

START

Avenue Jean Jaurès, Millau

Show more

All three events start together on Avenue Jean Jaurès in Millau.

The marathon follows the first loop of the 100km course, passing through Aguessac,

Rivière-sur-Tarn, Boyne, Peyre, Le Pradels, La Cresse and Paulhe before returning to Millau.

The 42km course follows both banks of the Tarn, the start of the Tarn Gorge and the Dourbie Valley, with 220m of elevation gain and 7 aid stations.

It is a course that tests terrain and endurance rather than time.

The 23km course splits near the Causse Gantier farm, about 10km mark, heads towards La Cresse,

crosses the Tarn on a metal bridge, passes through Paulhe and finishes at Parc de la Victoire in Millau.

It has 50m of elevation gain and one aid station at 7km mark.

The first event was held on 17 September 1972, based on an idea by Serge Coter and Bernard Vidal.

Each edition attracts about 1,600 participants and is run by 800 volunteers.

The 100km course must be completed within 18 hours.
