13 km du Rhône
The 13 km du Rhône is a loop road race held as part of the Marathon du Beaujolais AG2R LA MONDIALE weekend on 21 November 2026. The course is slightly hilly with an elevation gain of 129 m and a descent of 134 m. Organisers state a time limit of 3 hours and course cutoffs are in place at the Château de la Venerie (km 8) and at the finish.
The route includes three refreshment stations and a range of on-course animations. Runners pass through a cuvage temporarily transformed into a nightclub and through a château where an orchestra, games, a photobooth and a refreshment point are installed. The event notes that a large share of participants run in costume, with over 82% of entrants dressed up in recent editions.
The race finishes on Boulevard Jean Jaurès in Villefranche-sur-Saône. The format and described atmosphere emphasise festive elements and multiple entertainment points along a road loop rather than a competitive-only profile. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
