The Nevers Marathon by Nexson is a unique two-day running event held annually, in November, that offers participants the rare opportunity to start a race on the legendary Formula 1 asphalt of the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours in France. The marathon course provides an exceptional blend of sport and scenery, as runners leave the racetrack to traverse the picturesque Burgundy countryside, passing landmarks like the Château du Sallay and following the Lateral Canal to the Loire, before finishing under the Porte de Paris arch in the historic city of Nevers. The event caters to all abilities with a wide variety of races, including the individual Marathon (42.195 km), Half-Marathon (21.0975 km), and Marathon Duo relay, as well as shorter formats like the 4.411 km Lap (a single timed lap of the circuit), the Ekiden (42.195 km team relay on the circuit), and various distances for Kids races. The largely flat and fast course is perfect for personal bests, attracting both seasoned and novice runners for a memorable, celebratory weekend of running.
