A week before the Chartres half-marathon, on September 12, there were around a hundred runners to set off, under the leadership of Thierry Mommessin, to attack the new route proposed by the organizers, The Republican Echo and ASPTT Chartres, this Sunday, September 5.
Among these runners, some were kind enough to give their opinion on the route after the reconnaissance. Flavien, former footballer of Dammarie and Sours, converted to running for five years, has already completed the 21 km of the semi in 1h24.

More than 2,000, exactly 2,059 runners, this Monday, September 6, were entered. Registration for all distances (5 km, 10 km and 21 km) is still possible online via the website dedicated to the event.
