Registration for the Liberty Half-Marathon, scheduled between Caen and the Côte de Nacre in June 2027, closed in record time.
Enthusiasm for the Liberty Half-Marathon shows no signs of waning. This Friday, November 6, 2026, at noon sharp, registration opened. Less than two hours later, all 5,000 available bib numbers had been claimed. This booking pace is a testament to the growing popularity of this sporting event in Normandy.
The event, which connects Caen to the Côte de Nacre, attracts thousands of participants each year. In 2027, approximately 30,000 people are expected across all the races offered. The half-marathon represents a significant portion of this lineup, alongside the marathon and its relay races.
Two days before this record-breaking registration for the half-marathon, the marathon relay had also sold out in record time. Organizers had already been able to gauge runners' appetite for this 2027 edition.
For candidates who were unable to register in time, a waitlist could be considered. Event officials indicated they were exploring several options to meet demand without compromising the quality of the organization. The city of Caen and its surrounding area are already preparing to welcome participants from early June 2027.
