Castle Run Series
Sunday 26th August 2018
The Chateau de Chantilly Half Marathon will see competitors undertake 2 laps of a spectator friendly almost entirely off road 10.5K circuit. 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 other worldly 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 Garden Anglais and back into the formal gardens. With the finish line in sight, a quick circuit of the spectator heavy main fountain is followed by a 2nd lap of the same circuit. On completion of the 2nd lap, this time competitors turn right into the finishing straight and cross the finish line with the world famous chateau backdrop, to receive their medal and classy finishing line banquet!
