This friendly event in teams of four is reserved for companies and associations.
Each participant covers a portion of 9 to 12 km before passing on a timing chip to symbolize team spirit.
The start is given at the same time as the individual marathon, on Sunday, April 27, 2025 at 9:15 a.m.
After the effort, you can taste some local specialties such as the famous LU petits beurres.
And why not extend the experience with a visit to the old LU factory or a walk along the banks of the Erdre?
