Course Details
Starting in the formal gardens with the Chateau as a backdrop, competitors initially head off on the internal estate tracks towards Porte Vaillant, one of the main gates on the eastern edge of the estate. Then, heading North and after passing the otherworldly Wallaby Enclosure, runners will circumnavigate Parc de Syvlie (a woodland garden) before arriving, after 4K, at Grille de Honor, the main spectator entrance to the Chateau. A small cobbled section is then followed by a 5K circuit of the World famous Hippodrome de Chantilly (racecourse). After passing the Museum of Horse and re-entering the estate at the Grille de Jeu de Paume participants then have a 1.5K ramble through the Jardin Anglais and back into the formal gardens. With the finish line in sight, runners take the left hand fork, cross the formal gardens and ascend the ramp to transition before completing a 2nd lap of the same circuit. On completion of the 2nd lap, competitors turn right onto the finishing straight with the world-famous chateau backdrop, to receive their medal and classy finishing line banquet!
The 10k is one lap the half marathon is two laps.
