The 16th Run In Lyon, held on October 4, 2026, announced 36,000 participants, up 3,000 on 2025.
The field
| Event | Entrants |
|---|---|
| Half marathon | 17,000 |
| Marathon | more than 7,000 (record) |
| 10K and Run Solidaire | rest of the field |
The weekend relies on 1,200 volunteers over three days. The course starts in Vieux Lyon and finishes at Place Bellecour, and the title sponsor is the insurer Harmonie Mutuelle.
Pricing
| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Marathon | €75 to €89 |
| 10K | €34 to €45 |
| Run Solidaire | €18, of which €4 goes to AFG Autisme |
Lyon’s marathon costs about half as much as the Paris Marathon, where a 2027 bib costs €169. That gap matters as French road-race demand keeps rising. Lyon is growing its field at prices below Paris’s, while Paris has moved to a ballot to manage demand.
