La Marcillaise takes place in the village of Marcillé in the Deux-Sèvres department of western France, on a Saturday in mid January. Runners choose between a 16 kilometre course and a shorter 9 kilometre course, both starting and finishing in the local area. The event is a small community race organised locally, with registration handled through the OK-Time platform. Full route details, start times and entry prices are published on the organiser's registration page nearer to race day, and runners are advised to confirm all practical details there before travelling. Mid January conditions in this part of Nouvelle-Aquitaine are usually cold and often damp, so layered clothing and a change of kit are sensible.

The 9 km is the shorter and more approachable option, well suited to newer runners or anyone treating the day as a supported training run. The 16 km asks for more endurance over the same rural landscape around Marcillé. Detailed route descriptions for both are published by the organiser.
The event is based in Marcillé in the Deux-Sèvres department of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The precise start and finish location within the village is published by the organiser, and it is worth checking before you travel as village race headquarters are often at the salle des fêtes or the main square.
Aid station details are not published on this page. For a race of 9 to 16 km, expect at least one water point on the longer course and a small refreshment table at the finish, but check with the organiser if you rely on specific food or drink.
