The full marathon is run over a two-loop course that follows the city's beaches and visits the neighbouring towns of Vaux-sur-Mer and Saint-Georges-de-Didonne. Runners pass the seafront twice, so the route rewards those who pace the second loop carefully.

The event takes place on Saturday 22 May 2027 in Royan, a seaside city on the north end of the Gironde estuary in western France.
The event includes a full marathon of 42.2 km, a half marathon of 21.1 km, a 10 km race and several shorter races for younger runners over 0.4 km, 0.8 km, 1.6 km, 2.4 km and 3.2 km.
The marathon runs over two loops that follow Royan's beaches and visit the neighbouring towns of Vaux-sur-Mer and Saint-Georges-de-Didonne. The route is mostly along the seafront and through the city's distinctive Modernist streets.
Accommodation options in Royan and the nearby coastal towns suit visitors attending the race weekend. Booking early is advisable because the event attracts runners from outside the area.
The listing does not describe the elevation profile. Because the route follows the beaches and the seafront, the course is likely to be fairly level, but check the official event information for details.
