Join the 13th edition of a classic relay challenge at the sold-out Ekiden de Laval on Sunday, March 15, 2026. This well-established event sees teams of six tackling the full marathon distance (42.195 km) over varied legs, while the Semi-Ekiden offers a three-person relay over a half-marathon. Both formats create an exhilarating team dynamic on a looped city-center course starting and finishing at the Cour de la Résistance.
Experience the focused energy of relay racing, where strategy and pacing are paramount within the 4.5-hour time limit. The event enforces a strict personal cup policy at aid stations and requires a valid FFA license or health questionnaire (PPS) for all participants. With dedicated challenges for men's, women's, mixed, and corporate teams, the day is a celebration of collective effort and urban running in the heart of the Mayenne region.
