• THE COURSE :
The course is fast, it takes asphalt roads on the totality of the layout. The marathon starts with 8 km in the countryside to arrive within the superb framework of the forest of Rambouillet, with a passage at the edges of the ponds of Holland. Then the runners carry out a loop, always in forest on tracks and asphalt roads, before approaching the return towards the stage of Lieutel. The course is practically flat, except for a coast with 2,5% before the km 5, which one finds in descent with the km 37.

SUPPLIES :

Every 5 km (dry water, sugar, OVERSTIM.s ©, fruits, gingerbread...). The course mainly borrows the drill domanial of Rambouillet and we have the obligation to leave the perfectly clean places after the race. For this reason we do not use any more individual bottles with the supplies, because the majority of the runners transfer them onto several hundred meters what raises difficulties of cleaning. This problem is controlled much better with the goblets; we hope that the athletes will include/understand our ecological concern.
