Race guide

Official date status

Toulouse Métropole Run Expérience Marathon is listed for November 1, 2026. This date refers to the race represented in this guide; other distances and expo activities may run on different days.

Official date information checked on 2026-10-18. This check covers the date status, not entry availability or final race operations.

Toulouse’s different start and finish boulevards

The start, finish, corral entrance and baggage area are different places. Use the final event-area map and your assigned wave time to plan the sequence. Companions running the half marathon should not follow the full-marathon schedule, because that race has a different start arrangement.

The marathon route includes the Piste des Géants and several Toulouse landmarks, but the page still contains older provisional wording alongside the current GPX. Download the latest map close to race day and check any participant update about roadworks or permissions. A landmark list is not sufficient navigation for spectators.

The organizer recommends Jeanne d’Arc metro station and says Jean Jaurès will be closed for access. Confirm the race-day transport notice and allow time for the walk to baggage and your corral. Collection happens before race day; if another person collects your bib, the published process requires the pickup QR code.

The six-hour race limit should be assessed against your assigned start and the final gate rules. Review the full aid chart and bring familiar supplies where the offered products do not match your training. Water is served through the event’s reusable system, and the page encourages refillable bottles or flasks. Baggage closes at 16:00 and accepts a bag rather than loose keys or clothing, so prepare one clearly identifiable package within the stated size limit. Arrange a finish meeting point beyond the crowded channel on Boulevard Lazare Carnot. Keep the confirmed November 2026 race separate from future planning: no exact 2027 full-marathon date is established by the reviewed programme. The final participant instructions should resolve any remaining wave or route detail before departure.
