Course & Elevation
The Marathon des Géants is the marathon of the Harmonie Mutuelle Toulouse Métropole Run Experience, a single-loop 42.195 km race through Toulouse held on a Sunday in early November. Its predecessor, the Marathon International de Toulouse Métropole, was run each year from 2007 to 2019. After the cancelled editions of 2020 to 2023, the marathon returned on 10 November 2024 as the Run Experience, organised by the company Playground with the City of Toulouse. In 2026 it started at 08:00 on Boulevard d'Arcole and finished on Boulevard Lazare Carnot. The organisers describe a route through the city's emblematic places, including the Place du Capitole, the Canal du Midi, the Piste des Géants, the Cité de l'Espace, the Oncopole, the ENAC and the Île du Ramier, and the 2026 course passes inside the Stadium of Toulouse for the first time. A half marathon, a 10 km and a marathon relay run on the same day. The entry fee for the marathon in 2026 was €80. The whole event had 37,000 registrations in 2025, a record.
