The Ariège runner shines in Val d’Isère and aims at the Paris marathon with her son in 2026.
In the world of sport, each athlete dreams of climbing on the highest step of the podium, but achieving it requires a course strewn with pitfalls, renunciations and constant efforts. Among these inspiring figures, the vice-champion of France in mountain racing Anne-Marie Duran is distinguished by her resilience and her love for competition. His talent, combined with an exemplary discipline, allowed him to progress quickly and to qualify for the national championships.
During the last edition of the French Trail Championship, on July 6 in Val d’Isère, by a strong heat, on a very technical 12.5 km course with a positive elevation of 980 m, Anne-Marie achieved a good performance by ranking 79th in the Scratch and shone by finishing second in her category in Master 5, thus becoming vice-national championne. This performance, far from being a simple result, testifies to its constant commitment and its ability to surpass yourself in the face of competition from the best athletes in the country.
Today, this vice-champion of France does not intend to stop there. She now targets the Paris marathon in April 2026 with her son Frédéric. This runner is an example of sporting success, showing that passion and work can lead to summits, even if the ultimate victory is not always there. Her constant determination to progress makes her one of the rising figures in French sport. His career remains a message of encouragement for all those who continue their passions with courage and perseverance.
