queen event attracts 5,000 participants
The D-Day Landings Marathon, the showpiece event of the eponymous event to be held on Sunday June 15, 2025 as part of Caen's millennium celebrations, is SOLD OUT 3 months before D-Day.
Created in 1988 as a sporting tribute to the events of the D-Day, the D-Day Landings Marathon is set for another historic edition as part of the city's Caen's millennium celebrations. With over 30,000 participants each year, the event's course is a perfect illustration of this tribute to history through sport.
Now in its 37th year, the D-Day Landings Marathon is the world's premier event over the legendary distance of 42.195 km. Often referred to as the Marathon des Plages du Débarquement (D-Day Beaches Marathon), this FFA-certified event boasts one of the most beautiful courses in France. Proof of its international renown, the D-Day Landings Marathon is now one of the qualifying marathons for the Abbott World Marathon Majors age-group rankings.
On Sunday June 15, 2025, 5,000 participants will set off from Courseulles-sur-Mer in the historic Juno Beach area.
