L'événement en quelques mots

Dans le fief de l' Indre-et-Loire (37), à Tours , on te donne rendez-vous en septembre 🗓️ pour le Marathon, le 10 km et le 20 km de Tours , l'épreuve incontournable du coin 📍. Au même moment que la reprise des compétitions sportives, c’est donc une sorte de rentrée des classes pour les Tourangeaux 👨‍🏫. Avec son patrimoine historique d’exception , c’est l’occasion de (re)découvrir la Touraine et sa richesse culturelle . Allez, on t’emmène faire un Tours ! 😉 Plusieurs milliers de coureurs font le Tours de la ville sur des distances classiques : le 10 km , le 20 km , ainsi que le traditionnel marathon . La distance de 42,195 km est par ailleurs disponible sur le format " duo " 🔗 . Mais ce n'est pas tout ! L'organisation te propose aussi un format de marche nordique 🚶🏼‍♂️ de 10 km , chronométrée ou non ⏱️ , pour ceux qui souhaitent profiter du sublime parcours d'une autre façon 😜 . Ça y est, le Tours est joué ! Il ne te reste plus qu’à choisir pour t'élancer à travers l'ancienne capitale de la France 🇫🇷😲.

Au programme de ton expédition tourangelle , un paysage chargé d’histoire 📕  : entre l’ancienne Abbaye de Marmoutier , la Basilique Saint-Martin , le pont Napoléon , le pont Mirabeau ou encore le quartier du Vieux Tours ( ça fait beaucoup là, non ? ), on espère pour toi que tu arriveras à garder un peu de concentration pour filer droit ! ➡️ Et comme si ce n’était pas assez, le château de Tours 🏰 sera aussi de la partie (ou de la course plutôt 😅) ! C’est clairement l’attrait Tours-istique principal du coin : les Châteaux de la Loire sont tous plus remarquables les uns que les autres, souvent bordés par des jardins ⛲️ ou des cours d’eau 💦 qui les mettent encore plus en valeur. On pense particulièrement à celui de Chambord , de Chenonceau ou encore celui d’ Amboise 😍. Mais laisse la découverte de ces monuments iconiques pour plus tard, preux finisher 🗡️, et retourne à l'assaut des tracés du parcours 🐎. Et puisqu’on évoquait l’environnement, sache que tu seras servi sur ce point-là également. Tu emprunteras le circuit de la Loire à Vélo 🚲, cet incroyable itinéraire cyclo-touristique de 900 km qui te fait découvrir de somptueux paysages le long de la Loire . Ce n'est pas le seul cours d'eau que tu pourras admirer, puisque si tu t'engages sur le marathon, tu auras le privilège de courir le long du Cher . De re-Tours dans la ville de départ, l'arrivée de la course 🏁 se fera sur la place Anatole-France , tout en haut de la célèbre rue Nationale ✨.

Outre des paysages à couper le souffle 🌬️, tu pourras bouger ton corps au rythme des groupes de musiques 🎵 disséminés tout au long du parcours 🕺. En effet, l'ambiance et l'accueil que te réservent les Tourangeaux sera tout bonnement incroyable 🤩. Les spectateurs se masseront en nombre pour admirer tes jolies foulées 👏. Pas très loin de ton lieu d'arrivée, tu trouveras la place Plumereau 🪶 qui te relaxera après l’épreuve : les Tourangeaux sont fiers de dire que c’est la meilleure place de France pour prendre l’apéro ! 🍻 Avec ses vieilles maisons à colombage et l’ ambiance festive qui y règne, tu pourras flâner et déguster une tartine de rillettes (spécialité locale 😌) ou un morceau de l’ AOC Sainte-Maure-de-Touraine 🐐 accompagné d’un bon petit verre de vin du coin : Bourgueil , Chinon , Montlouis ou Vouvray , en voilà un large éventail de choix ! 🍷

Cette année, la marraine de l'édition 2024 est Anaïs Quéméner . Championne de France 🏆 de Marathon à Tours en 2016 , elle revient cette année en terre in connue ! Inspirante et pétillante ✨, tu auras peut-être l'occasion de courir avec elle ou simplement la rencontrer sur le salon.

Toursnicoti, Toursnicoton, voilà le Marathon, 10 et 20 km de Tours !

Quelques mots en plus

Le départ de cette boucle de 42,195 km s’effectuera non loin de la Place Anatole France à 7h30 ⌚️ . Le premier virage du Marathon te fera traverser la Loire 💧 par le Pont Napoléon et t’emmènera sur le Quai Paul Bert . C’est une longue ligne droite qui t’attend jusqu’au Parc de Sainte Radegonde 🌱 avant de faire le tour de l’ Institution Marmoutier d’où tu pourras observer son Abbaye ⛪. Tu longeras ensuite la Loire avant de la retraverser, cette fois-ci par le Pont Mirabeau qui te fera prendre un virage à droite pour t’emmener jusqu’au Château de Tours 🏰. Le 10 ème km sera marqué non pas par un, mais bien deux monuments historiques que sont la Basilique Saint-Martin et la Tour Charlemagne 👑. Les places de Châteauneuf et du Grand Marché marqueront le début de ta boucle qui passera notamment par les rues Léon Boyer , d’ Entraingues (avec le jardin de Prébendes ) et Auguste Chevallier avant d’arriver jusqu’au Cher que tu traverseras grâce au Pont Saint-Sauveur . La route des Savonnières marquera les 15 km avec un virage autour du Golf de La Gloriette ⛳ tandis que les 20 km , eux, seront marqués par le Lac de la Bergeonnerie . Tu n’auras pas eu le temps de t’en rendre compte que tu seras déjà à la mi-course dans le superbe Parc Honoré de Balzac avant de retraverser le Cher pour effectuer une boucle sur la Promenade de Florence . La rue du Sanitas , l’ avenue Saint-Lazare et la rue Febvotte t’emmèneront jusqu’à la Place de la Liberté 🗽 ainsi que le Palais de Sports qui marquera le début du mur des 30 km . La longue avenue du Grammont t’accompagnera jusqu’à la Place Jean Jaurès avec un peu plus loin le Grand Théâtre de Tours 🎭. À 10 km de la finish line, tu retrouveras de vieilles connaissances tel que la place de Châteauneuf et celle du Grand Marché avant de retraverser la Loire par le Pont Napoléon . Le tracé sera semblable à ton début de course avec un crochet à droite après le Pont Mirabeau pour retrouver la Place Anatole France et la ligne d’arrivée 🏁.

Marathon de Tours Duo

Envie d'être accompagné dans ton effort et partager le parcours en deux ? Ce Marathon Duo est fait pour toi. Le parcours est exactement le même que le marathon solo. Le départ aura lieu à 7h30 . Il ne te reste plus qu'à te mettre d'accord avec ton ou ta partenaire de course sur le traditionnel "mais qui fait quelle distance ? 🤔". En effet, la zone de relais du Marathon Duo se trouve à mi-parcours , dans le Parc de l'Île Balzac . Alors, on te laisse discuter de ce choix cornélien avec ton binôme, entre la première et la deuxième partie du tracé, mais pas de dispute d'accord ? 😅

20 km de Tours

• dimanche 22 septembre 2024 à 9h00

Envie de te lancer dans une escapade historique dans les rues de l'ancienne capitale de France ? Ce 20 km est fait pour toi. Prends tes baskets et direction l' Indre-et-Loire à toute berzingue ! 🏃

Le départ sera donné à la place Anatole-France à 9h ⌚ . Cette année, c'est un tout nouveau parcours qui t'attend ! 😉 Tu t'élanceras vers la rue Léon Boyer , la Place Saint Eloi et la rue d’Entraigues . Tu longeras le Jardin des Prébendes avant de traverser Le Cher vers la Route de Savonnières 🧼 qui marquera tes premiers 5 km ! 

Tu rejoindras ensuite le quartier Febvotte-Marat , pour remonter vers Place de la Liberté avant de continuer ta route vers le Palais des Sports de Tours . Passé le km 8 , les supporters seront au rendez-vous sur l’ avenue de Grammont et la célèbre Place Jean Jaurès 📍 , autrefois lieu de départ et d’arrivée de la course. Tu pourras admirer le magnifique Hôtel de Ville de Tours avant d’emprunter le Boulevard Heurteloup avec en ligne de mire la vue sur le Grand Théâtre de Tours 🎭. Après quelques dédales de rues, tu pourras souffler et admirer les richesses du cœur de la ville , tu as déjà fait la moitié ! 😉

Tu remonteras ensuite la place du Grand Marché avec son célèbre “Monstre”, et prendras la direction des quais de la Loire pour rejoindre le parcours du 10 km de Tours . Tu traverseras la Loire par le pont Napoléon , longeras le Couvent de la Grande Bretèche puis le quai Paul Bert avant de découvrir l’ Ancienne Abbaye de Marmoutier et l’Institution Marmoutier ⛪. C'est le moment d’entamer tes derniers efforts ! 💪 Tu arriveras près du Parc de Sainte Radegonde, avant d’entamer la traversée du Pont Mirabeau pour rejoindre le Château de Tours 🏰. Direction le Vieux Tours , en empruntant la rue Colbert, la rue du Commerce en passant devant l’ Hôtel Goüin , puis la rue Paul Louis-Courier avant une arrivée bien méritée Place Anatole France 🏁.

10 km Marche nordique de Tours

Prêt à t'élancer au quart de Tours sur un parcours inédit de 10 km lors d'une épreuve de marche Nordique ? 🚶

Rendez-vous, sans surprise, à la Place Anatole-France . Le départ est donné à 8h30 et tu emprunteras d'emblée le Pont Napoléon mais tu ne le traverseras pas d'une traite. En effet, à mi-chemin tu descendras sur le parc de l'île Simon pour faire le "Tours" (😉) de cette petite île très verdoyante 🏝️. Après avoir fait sa découverte, tu reprendras le pont pour bifurquer à gauche sur les quais de la Loire . Un petit détour par le parc de la Perraudière et tu continueras ta marche le long de la Loire 💧 . Après 6 kilomètres de course, tu feras demi-tour pour entamer une longue ligne droite sur les avenues qui bordent le fleuve. Après 3 nouveaux kilomètres d'effort, tu apercevras ton lieu d'arrivée, le parc de l' île (t)Aucard 🏝️ . Tu le rejoindras tranquillement via le pont suspendu de Saint-Symphorien pour ensuite profiter d'un repos bien mérité 😉.

10 km de Tours

• dimanche 22 septembre 2024 à 11h10
• Dénivelé  :  56mD+ / 56mD-

Bienvenue sur une distance mythique et abordable du 10 km qui permet de profiter des joies de la course à pied tout en permettant d'aller taper son meilleur chrono ⏱️. Si toi aussi, tu souhaites rejoindre les 7 000 coureurs de cet événement si spécial, c'est le moment de te lancer ! 💪

Comme les autres distances, tu démarreras à la place Anatole-France . Pour cette épreuve, il y aura 2 départs . Le premier aura lieu à 11h10 , le deuxième à 11h30 . Pas le temps de te mettre en jambes que tu traverseras déjà la Loire 💧 via le pont Napoléon . Une fois de l'autre côté de la rive, tu emprunteras le quai Paul-Bert pendant quelques kilomètres, qui te fera passer devant le couvent de la Grande Bretèche . Direction ensuite l'imposante abbaye de Marmoutier datant du Moyen-Âge ⛪. Quelques pas plus loin, se situe l' Institution Marmoutier , qui marque la mi-course et ton seul ravitaillement du parcours. Après avoir bu un bon coup, tu rejoindras le circuit de la Loire à vélo le temps de quelques foulées et d'un peu de verdure 🌱. Une légère petite montée pour emprunter le Pont Mirabeau (seule petite difficulté du parcours) et longer à nouveau la Loire (elle ne te quitte plus 😝). Garde les yeux ouverts, tu croiseras le château de Tours 🏰 sur ta gauche, l'un des emblèmes de la ville. Plus que 2 kilomètres à avaler, c'est le moment de tout donner ! Cette fin de course te mènera dans le quartier du Vieux-Tours , avec un dernier effort sur la place du Monstre qui t'offre un finish de folie du côté de la place Anatole-France 🏁.

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Our Moscow tours are land only meaning that you arrange your own air travel to Russia and our expert staff meets you at the airport and handles everything else from there.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you. For more information, read our guide about staying safe in Russia .

Thank you so much for doing such a great job for us runners. This was my 10th consecutive Boston Marathon and my first booking a room through Marathon Tours & Travel. As someone who usually stays closer to the starting line for the free parking and less costly accommodations, I was very impressed by the variety of options available and chose The Verve in Natick. Communication was also really good. Having a Marathon Tours letter at check-in was great and made me feel organized and prepared for race day. I will definitely choose Marathon Tours & Travel accommodations again!

I used to book rooms for my Boston marathon directly with hotels, but I love booking rooms with you now!

I am so appreciative of you and Marathon Tours & Travel for what you do for the Boston Marathon runners. I plan on stopping by your booth at the expo to say hello and thank you in person.

Love dealing with MTT! Wish everyone offered the same great service you do.

I plan on using Marathon Tours again because everything was perfect and the staff was excellent and caring.

The hotel location was fantastic – just the right amount of information for group get togethers and time to explore on our own.

My motivation for going with the VIP Package was for the private coach bus transfer and the no-hassle hotel booking at a preferred location. The coach was fantastic.

We are grateful to you and your team at Marathon Tours once again for a well-crafted event. We stayed at the handsome Newbury Hotel with its attentive staff and dined at wonderful restaurants within walking distance. Your work made our visit much easier to plan. I made sure nearby passengers on my flight home were told to contact Marathon Tours before their next race.

I had a very, very pleasant stay at the Godfrey Hotel in Boston. They gave us runners a very nice surprise when we got back to the hotel. Excellent experience! I strongly recommend it.

Allyson is amazing! Her efficiency, courtesy, and conscientiousness are all extraordinary. She epitomizes the best “customer service” possible! She is consistently excellent, because I distinctly remember every instance of communication from her, over time, all top notch! She is the ideal Ambassador for Marathon Tours & Travel.

Marathon Tours & Travel, keep up the awesome work! We have been working with your staff for at least the last 13 or 14 years – reserving a block of rooms for our charity team runners and support staff for the Boston Marathon. You always come through, and it is easy for our runners to reserve rooms through the link you set up for us. Allyson has always been wonderful, but especially this year with the date change for the Boston Marathon, trying to find a block of rooms for our runners in an already overcrowded Boston. She is always pleasant and helpful, and does her best to go above and beyond to accommodate all of us. Thank you ALL- I know these are trying times with so many major marathons changing dates, and then cancelling- and you are all doing a great job. I know this is stressful for everyone, especially all of you, as you try to help us all with our accommodations. Keep up the good work. Dick Hoyt

I wanted to send a note to acknowledge the outstanding communication, action and response from Allyson Johnson with the postponement of the Boston Marathon. These unprecedented times, and her commitment to customer satisfaction has been outstanding and I thank you!

You guys are so on top of these complicated arrangements – and the communication to all of us. Very impressive!

Just wanted to say thank you for all your work. The situation we are in is unprecedented and I really appreciate your continuous communication. Keep it up and stay healthy!

You all are doing an amazing job! I am so appreciative of Marathon Tours & Travel efforts to deal with this obvious setback. You communication is so clear and concise—well done! Kudos to your staff!

I have always booked my room through Marathon Tours for Boston. Next year will be my 4th straight year running the marathon.

The hotel that I booked on-line (Sheraton Boston) was only available starting Friday night before the marathon, but I was planning to arrive on Thursday. I called Marathon Tours to see if they could add Thursday night to my reservation, and Allyson was able to do that after working with the hotel. Thank you!

Really nice and smooth experience when booking on marathon tours’ website. Also easy and fast to make changes when I wanted to add one more night to my booking.

Really simple process. I booked for Boston 2014 using Marathon Tours, so I was happy to be able to do so again.

Thank you for making this Boston experience one to be remember.

Great trip! The Hotel Package was very well organized and thought out.

The package was better than I expected, and I’m lucky to have been on it!

My booking experience was smooth. Found the most reasonable prices in Boston on your site.

Great selection of hotels and when there were questions, I was able to get answers in a timely manner.

I just wanted to express my thanks to you and your entire group for an incredible weekend. I mistakenly assumed your package would simply ease my burden of a hotel room and transportation; however, it was so much more. The talks by Kathrine and Roger did so much for me and my nerves the night before my first Boston Marathon. Their talks and books with continue to inspire my passion for running. The friends I made at the dinner and my entire experience were enhanced by your hard work.

Thank you for all of your hard work that led to a wonderful Boston experience for us. The hotel room was perfect. The dinner and the talks from Kathryn and Roger were wonderful and inspiring. Also the bus transfer situation was just fine, with no problems whatsoever!

Thank you for such a quick response. I appreciate the great customer service you always provide.

Thanks for a great experience! Marathon Tours did a wonderful job in making my first Boston marathon into a wonderful weekend. I will definitely keep Marathon Tours in mind for my next race!
