Mont Blanc Marathon 2020

The Mont-Blanc Marathon is a sporting event that includes several running competitions around Chamonix in the Mont-Blanc massif. The main event is a race over a marathon distance called the 42 km of Mont-Blanc.

 

With 8 events and 10 500 riders from 80 nationalities, the end of June vibrates every year at the time of the trail in Chamonix. The Chamonix Sports Club is organising this year the 42 edition of the Marathon with its legendary races such as the 42 km.

The Mont-Blanc Marathon is a trail event that brings together 8 races. Several distances are available to runners from all over the world to participate with family or friends. More than 10,500 runners from 80 different nationalities will have the joy of departing from Chamonix to explore the trails of the Valley. The Mont-Blanc Marathon races are organized by the Chamonix Sports Club Association. Under the name Marathon du Mont-Blanc 8 races are organized: 90km du Mont-Blanc, 42km du Mont-Blanc, 23km du Mont-Blanc, KM Vertical du Mont-Blanc, Duo étoilé, Young Race Marathon, 10km du Mont-Blanc as well as the Mini cross du Mont-Blanc (800m to 3km reserved for children in their age categories). For 4 days, the Chamonix Valley will vibrate to the rhythm of the races: 40,000 people will be present on Chamonix to attend or participate in this event, and everything is done to welcome riders, companions and spectators in the best possible conditions. The event has become significant in a few years, but our organisation is an associative (non-profit) organisation and relies on volunteers and the will of local authorities. Faced with the craze, we must organize ourselves to improve everyone's well-being and safety, with races that take place in the mountains in a sometimes difficult environment (especially the 90 km of Mont-Blanc), runners must be aware of this particularity and prepare themselves properly. Each runner will be able to find a race adapted to his level of practice that will allow him to discover this unique environment that is the Chamonix-Mont-Blanc Valley.
