Finish area: Place République Beaux-Arts, Lille
The "Marathon – 42,195KM – Label F.F.A Or" (Marathon de Lille) marks the return of the full marathon to Lille on Sunday 25 October 2026. The organiser is the Ligue Hauts-de-France d’Athlétisme and the course is presented as ultra-flat and conducive to fast times under FFA labelling. The finish area is referenced in official material around Place République Beaux-Arts in central Lille, with a village at the finish offering covered recovery and catering spaces. Race rules follow Fédération Française d’Athlétisme regulations and strict licence/PPS documentary requirements are set out in the event regulations.
Start times and the definitive course map were not published at the time of these sources, and the organiser states the route will be communicated after validation by local authorities. Online registration is handled through the official registration platform and is subject to tiered pricing and a closure date (registrations close on 4 October 2026 or earlier if bibs sell out). Timing is electronic via a chip attached to the bib, the maximum allowed marathon time is six hours, and no on-site race-day registration is permitted.
