The Race
The Mont Saint-Michel Marathon is a stunning and unique race in the shadow of one of France’s most iconic landmarks. This scenic marathon route runs along the coastline of Normandy, with breathtaking views of the bay as you approach the magnificent Mont Saint-Michel. With its flat course and coastal breeze, it’s an ideal race for runners aiming for a personal best or simply soaking in the majestic surroundings.

Nearby, you’ll find charming French villages, Normandy’s rich history, and world-famous gastronomy, including fresh seafood and Normandy cider.

Testimonials
What Our Customers Say About Us
"Race Beyond made my London Marathon experience seamless and unforgettable. From securing a centrally located hotel near the finish line to planning a stress-free itinerary, everything was perfectly handled. They went above and beyond bringing my family around the course to cheer me on."
Molly Andrews
London Marathon
"I wanted to run the Mont St Michel Marathon but had no idea how to plan for it. Race Beyond customized a package just for me, taking care of the logistics, from hotels to transportation, and even organizing a post-race tour of the historic Normandy beaches. It was the perfect mix of running and adventure!"
Barry Evans
Mont St Michel Marathon
"Running the Boston Marathon had always been a dream, and Race Beyond made it a reality. Boston hotels were completely sold out. Their team arranged everything—my accommodation near the finish line, transportation, and even got me to the start line. Their expertise made the entire experience smooth and stress-free."
