On September 27, 2026, the picturesque region surrounding Lake Annecy will host the sixth edition of two exciting races: a scenic 10K and a challenging half-marathon. Both events offer runners breathtaking views and a unique blend of coastal and mountainous terrain. The 10K race begins at Saint-Jorioz Beach around 8:30 AM, meandering along the shores before heading inland towards Doussard. The route is an out-and-back course that takes participants through charming villages and past serene lakeside landscapes. Runners will enjoy a seamless transition from sandy beaches to rolling hills as they make their way toward the finish line at Doussard's multi-purpose hall, located on the southern shore of Lake Annecy. For those who wish to return to Saint-Jorioz Beach after crossing the finish line, complimentary shuttle service is available. This option must be selected during registration and cannot be changed afterward. The half-marathon event starts in Doussard at 10:00 AM and follows a different route that extends further inland from the lake region. Starting approximately 18 kilometers north of Annecy, runners will traverse varied terrain including winding roads through quaint villages and stretches along quieter backroads before reaching the finish line. Both races culminate in Doussard's multi-purpose hall where participants are greeted with post-race festivities and support services. The event provides a perfect opportunity for runners to experience the serene beauty of Lake Annecy while challenging themselves on well-organized courses. Registration opens on March 27, 2026, exclusively for FFA members, followed by general registration starting April 1, 2026. Due to ongoing reconstruction work at Doussard's multi-purpose hall, the youth races will be suspended in both 2026 and 2027. Join us this September as we celebrate another successful edition of these beloved races against one of France’s most stunning backdrops.
