We have not confirmed the start line coordinates yet. The map shows the host city.

The 2025 race report and the organizer’s 2026 guide describe an out-and-back course along the western shore of the lake, with sections shared with cyclists.

The 2027 course map and elevation profile have not yet been published,

so the past course should not be presented as confirmed information for the upcoming edition.

In 2026, the marathon started on Avenue du Petit Port, with the village and finish at Le Pâquier.

Runners set off in waves five minutes apart from 8:00 am on 19 April.

The 2026 guide listed 8 water stations, baggage storage, bus information and event transport passes,

but 2027 fees, times and locations have not yet been confirmed.

Limited priority pre-registration was offered to people who attended the June meeting;

the opening date for general race entry is still to be announced.
