About
The race
The Boulogne-Billancourt Half Marathon is an annual road running event over the half marathon distance which takes place in November in Boulogne-Billancourt, France. This National level race accommodates several thousand marathoners every year. The course for the race is a looped circuit that starts and finishes at the town hall. It follows a clockwise route along the river Seine, passing the Sèvres – Cité de la céramique, Pont de Saint-Cloud. It heads north towards the Longchamp Race course and has a short loop through the Bois de Boulogne, where it reaches the halfway mark. At this point the course loops back on itself and follows the Seine in a southerly direction until it finally ends up at the town hall finish point.
