The 5th edition of the Portivechju Half Marathon will take place on Sunday, 18 October 2026. Co-organised by ASPV Athletics and the City of Porto-Vecchio, this end-of-season event has become a must-attend race for runners from Corsica and mainland France.

Three events to suit all levels

To allow as many people as possible to take part, the organisers are offering three different formats, with all races starting simultaneously at 10:00 am:

• The Half Marathon (21.1 km): The main event starts from the commercial port (Quai Syracuse). This technical and hilly course follows the Mediterranean coastline and offers exceptional views throughout the race.
• The 10 km race: Ideal for runners looking for a shorter but intense challenge, this popular race starts from the I Pini area in Palombaggia.
• The 8 km walk: Open to everyone, this event allows participants to enjoy the beauty of the route without the pressure of the clock, with the start also taking place in Palombaggia.

The three events come together at a shared finish line in the idyllic setting of Santa Giulia Bay.
