On the course

Refreshment zones (25cl water bottles + self-supply, bananas, oranges, sugar cubes and dried fruit) will be set up every 5 km.

New: the organization is changing its water management system for the event. In order to move towards a more reasoned management and a reduction of plastic, a double water supply system will be tested this year for the first time. You'll be able to refuel using water bottles, or fill your own containers (hydration bags, flasks, etc.) at the various refreshment points. The aim is to encourage and measure runners' autonomy, so as to develop and generalize self-supply systems in the future. 

On arrival

You'll also be offered a full meal at the finish, as well as a local buffet with Saveurs de Normandie where you can sample local specialities.
