Phalempin Half‑Marathon Teams With SRIAS

The Phalempin half-marathon has lined up a discounted entry deal for regional public-sector workers ahead of its June 21, 2026 race. (srias-hautsdefrance.fr) The Social Regional Interministerial Section in Hauts-de-France, known as SRIAS, said it is again partnering with the race and offering bibs at €8.30, including management fees. The offer is reserved for public employees in Hauts-de-France and their eligible dependents, while supplies last. (srias-hautsdefrance.fr) The race organizer’s website lists the next Semi-Marathon de Phalempin for Sunday, June 21, 2026. The event is run with support from the Phalempin Athletic Club, which is affiliated with the French Athletics Federation. (semi-marathon-phalempin.com) A half-marathon covers 21.1 kilometers, and Phalempin’s race has long marketed itself as a local fixture rather than a one-off event. The town said the 2025 edition was the 39th running and described it as a qualifier for the French championships. (phalempin.fr) That history helps explain why a subsidy matters here: the race is established, but the partner offer targets price-sensitive runners in a specific region. SRIAS framed the 2026 deal as a renewed partnership, signaling the arrangement also existed for the 2025 edition. (srias-hautsdefrance.fr, srias-hautsdefrance.fr) In 2025, SRIAS sold bibs for €7.30 and said the standard price was €19, with 84 bibs available under that program. The 2026 page does not list a full-price comparison in the excerpt surfaced online, but it does say stock is limited. (srias-hautsdefrance.fr, srias-hautsdefrance.fr) The race itself is promoted as a 21.1-kilometer course through forest, countryside and town streets in and around Phalempin. The municipality’s 2024 and 2025 notices also described strong volunteer support and regular musical entertainment along the route. (phalempin.fr, phalempin.fr) For runners who qualify for the SRIAS program, the immediate next step is simple: register before the discounted allocation runs out. For everyone else, the June 21 race remains on the calendar as Phalempin heads toward its 40th edition. (srias-hautsdefrance.fr, semi-marathon-phalempin.com)
