Cabourg Half Marathon
Cabourg Half Marathon is a flat half marathon in Cabourg, France, held each March. The organiser calls the route very flat and one of the fastest half marathons in France. It runs through the town and along the seafront Promenade Marcel Proust, past the casino. Late March on the Normandy coast is cool and breezy, with temperatures around 4 to 12°C. Flat courses like Cabourg's reward metronomic pacing — the danger is going out faster than goal pace because it feels cheap early.
