2026 Lyon Marathon
Run in Lyon is a fast point-to-point marathon on Oct 4, 2026, tracing the Saone and Rhone rivers to Place Bellecour. 293m gain, first-come entry, 5h30 cutoff, BQ-eligible.
October in Lyon brings crisp air and golden light along the Saône and Rhône, where the quays are made for a pre-race shakeout jog past Vieux-Lyon’s Renaissance lanes. After you cross the finish at Place Bellecour, warm up with a bowl of tablier de sapeur at a bouchon, or stroll the Parc de la Tête d’Or’s lakeside paths while the fall foliage peaks. It’s a calm, flavorful window to soak up the city’s food and riverside charm without summer crowds.
