Marathon de La Rochelle Duo du Marathon 21K
The Marathon de La Rochelle is an annual road running event which takes place in late November in La Rochelle, France. It features a full 42.195 km marathon race as well a 10 km race for amateur runners, a half marathon for wheelchair athletes, and a recreational 4 km jog around the city’s harbour. The city of La Rochelle had its first marathon race in 1981. This competition lasted until 1989 (with shorter 20 km races occurring in 1983 to 1985). Following the absence of a race in 1990, the Marathon de La Rochelle was established in its place, having its first edition on 24 November 1991. The marathon is one of the most popular in France, having had a record high of 10,000 entrants and 8625 finishers at the 20th edition in 2010. Among French races, only the Paris Marathon has had greater participation. Following the sudden death of Serge Vigot, the race founder and president of the organising committee, during the 2005 Marrakech Marathon, the event was officially renamed the Marathon De La Rochelle – Serge Vigot in his honour. The race as awarded IAAF Bronze Label Road Race status for the first time in 2011. This event is WANDA Age Group Qualifier.

What runners say about us?

Said López

running.COACH has helped me plan my entire season for the year. I love the flexibility with which the training plan is adjusted when an annual goal changes. I am very happy with the way it plans my week, the accuracy of the pace and heart rates, and the ease of use of the app. I find the dashboard very accurate and the stats help me keep a clear track week after week. This year my goal is to reach 800 ITRA points at three mountain ultras in Colombia, and I hope to do it with the help of running.COACH.

Karin Stoop

With the training program from running.COACH, I was able to achieve the goal of a "marathon" within a year with a varied training plan that was adapted to my performance. It is impressive how tailor-made this online training program is. My dream of finishing a marathon has come true. The different training units and the noticeable progress are very motivating.

Monika Cremosnik

Thanks to the support of my running.COACH Gold Coach, Stefanie Meyer, this year became my year of success! Intensive and always personalised training plans and always the right words and encouragement have helped me to realise my dreams. I am now a finisher in the ultramarathon in South Africa, the Comrades Marathon.

Silvia Perez

When I started training with running.COACH I found it hard to lower the intensity of each workout. But I continued because I believe that "less is more". With running.COACH I not only continue to improve my times and meet my goals but I feel strong and in very good shape. This is what allows me to finish a competition happy and keep on doing what i like the most: RUNNING!!

Angela Heller

"When I started running again after a long break, it was clear to me that I wanted to train in a structured way. With the reference 'Viktor Röthlin' my confidence grew and I bought my first subscription, a silver subscription. I was enthusiastic from the beginning and my motivation increased from training session to training session. I followed the instructions very precisely and the result for my big goal, the SwissAlpine K43, was correspondingly perfect!"

Christoph Friedli

Thanks to continued training with running.COACH, I was able to clearly improve on distances ranging from 10km to mountain running and marathon in the past couple of years, without risking an injury. Those successes encourage me to aim at new targets time and time again.
