The '''Humarathon''' is an annual [half marathon](/source/half_marathon) [road running](/source/road_running) event which takes place between [Ivry-sur-Seine](/source/Ivry-sur-Seine) and [Vitry-sur-Seine](/source/Vitry-sur-Seine) in [France](/source/France) every [Easter Weekend](/source/Easter_Weekend) (usually April). First held in 1986,[Civai, Franco et al (2012-04-16). [https://www.arrs.run/HP_HumHM.htm Humarathon]. [Association of Road Racing Statisticians](/source/Association_of_Road_Racing_Statisticians). Retrieved on 2013-04-10.] the race settled on the Ivry- to Vitry-sur-Seine route in the [Val-de-Marne](/source/Val-de-Marne) [department](/source/Departments_of_France) in 1988.[[http://www.humarathon.fr Infos pratiques - devenir bénévole] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130330225636/http://www.humarathon.fr/?PHPSESSID=1a1aefabf78888b9cbc63210e4a9dd4a |date=2013-03-30 }} {{in lang|fr}}. Humarathon. Retrieved on 2013-04-10.] The competition also includes a [10K run](/source/10K_run) in its programme of events.
From its first edition, the race attracted international athletes and the winning times throughout its running have been of a high standard. The course records were both set in 2011: [Dino Sefir](/source/Dino_Sefir) set the men's best of 59:42 minutes and [Sarah Chepchirchir](/source/Sarah_Chepchirchir) improved the women's record to 1:08:07 hours. The [Association of Road Racing Statisticians](/source/Association_of_Road_Racing_Statisticians) questions the validity of these marks, indicating a short course or wind-assistance, and recognises the best times for the race as [Paul Koech](/source/Paul_Koech)'s 1996 run of 1:00:31 hours and [Mary Keitany](/source/Mary_Keitany)'s 2007 time of 1:08:36 hours.[
The half marathon has a clockwise, circular route which starts near the [Parc des Cormailles](/source/Parc_des_Cormailles), heads east to follow the [River Seine](/source/River_Seine) southwards, goes west through the town of Vitry, turns north on Boulevard de Stalingrad, and then returns east to the Town Hall at Ivry.][[http://www.humarathon.fr/telecharger_pdf.php?fichier=Parcours-2013.pdf 2013 Parcours] {{in lang|fr}}. Humarathon. Retrieved on 2013-04-10.] Around 2000 runners took part in the half marathon event in 2012.[[https://www.humanite.fr/sports/l%E2%80%99humarathon-une-course-jamais-court-494213 L’Humarathon, une course jamais à court] {{in lang|fr}}. Humanite (2012-04-10). Retrieved on 2013-04-10.]
Among the athletes to have competed and won at the race are 1996 Olympic marathon champion [Fatuma Roba](/source/Fatuma_Roba), the 2002 European Championships marathon winner [Maria Guida](/source/Maria_Guida), 2004 [World Half Marathon Champion](/source/IAAF_World_Half_Marathon_Championships) [Paul Kirui](/source/Paul_Kirui), half marathon [world record](/source/list_of_world_records_in_athletics) holder Mary Keitany, two-time World Half Marathon runner-up [Hendrick Ramaala](/source/Hendrick_Ramaala) and three-time [World's Best 10k](/source/World's_Best_10k) winner [Sammy Kitwara](/source/Sammy_Kitwara).
In 2016 the half-marathon was cancelled to allow the organisers to focus on the charitable aspects of the event.[{{Cite web|url=http://www.leparisien.fr/ivry-sur-seine-94200/ivry-et-vitry-c-est-parti-pour-l-humarathon-15-04-2016-5718547.php|title=Ivry et Vitry : C'est parti pour l'Humarathon !|date=15 April 2016}}]
