Overview
Organised by Athlétisme Metz Métropole in Longeville-lès-Metz, France, the 100km Metz Métropole took runners through a flat road race with 10 metres of total elevation gain across 100 kilometres. With only 0.1 metres of climb per kilometre, the course eliminated any climbing demands, but the clock imposed strict pressure. The 14-hour time limit required a minimum pace of 8.4 minutes per kilometre, giving the event a cut-off tighter than 81% of 100k races and more generous than only 19%.
The route covered 25 pedestrian loops of 4 kilometres on asphalt paths and stabilised surfaces. Across its 7 editions since 2018, the event built a mid-sized competitive footprint: its field was bigger than 52% of 100k peers and smaller than 47%, concluding its 2025 edition with 42 finishers.
