Nancy Half Marathon

Experience a legendary race through the heart of Lorraine at the 19th Nancy Métropole Half-Marathon, returning on Sunday, March 29, 2026. Renowned as one of the most beautiful urban races in France, this event offers a unique journey through the architectural heritage of the Ducal City. Starting on the historic Rue Stanislas and culminating in a grand finish at the world-famous Place Stanislas (a UNESCO World Heritage site), every kilometer of this course is steeped in history and prestige.

Designed for peak performance, the 2026 edition features a fast, flat circuit tailored for both elite athletes and personal-best hunters. To ensure a smooth start and a steady rhythm, participants can access specialized starting waves (SAS) based on verified times, ranging from Elite (sub-1h10) to Competition levels. Furthermore, a team of five expert pacemakers will be on the track to guide you toward your time goals: 1h30, 1h40, 1h50, 2h00, and 2h10. Every finisher within the 7,500-participant limit will be rewarded with a technical jersey and a commemorative medal to mark their achievement.

Logistics are expertly managed to ensure a premium experience. Bib collection is held exclusively at the Nancy City Hall (Hôtel de Ville) on Friday and Saturday; please note that no bibs will be distributed on race day.
