Notes: 1984 was the inaugural year. The course is believed to have been point-to-point for all years. The 1984 course was probably short. The 1988 course was reported as 20.9 km but was probably shorter still. The 1995 race was also the IAAF World Championships. The 2001 race was apparently excessively wind-aided.

1994 Bertrand Frechard was the national champion (2nd place, 1:04:25)
