The 2024 Alpes-Maritimes Nice-Cannes Marathon promises a unique experience. With a 42 km coastal course, runners will pass through seven iconic towns on the French Riviera. This edition is breaking participation records, with over 17,800 registered.
The marathon offers a route that is 95% along the coast, providing breathtaking views. From Nice to Cannes, runners can admire mythical sites like the Promenade des Anglais, the Hippodrome of Cagnes-sur-Mer, and the famous Marina Baie des Anges.
Moreover, finishing on the Boulevard de la Croisette in Cannes adds a prestigious dimension to this sporting event. Runners will finish just a few steps from the legendary Palais des Festivals, adding to the race’s appeal.
An open race for all
The marathon also offers relay formats. Teams can split the total distance into several segments. This allows runners of all levels to participate in this iconic race. Everyone can set their own goals while enjoying a course suited to their pace.
It is also possible to run as a duo with the 2ร21 km format, where each participant runs a half-marathon. This friendly format attracts many pairs, making the event even more accessible.
A strong commitment to the environment
The Alpes-Maritimes Marathon is committed to a sustainable future. Thus, the event implements significant ecological initiatives. Among them, the use of Eco-Cups replacing 20,000 plastic cups and the promotion of carpooling.
In addition to limiting its carbon footprint, the organization collaborates with local producers to provide fresh fruits and apple juice at refreshment points. This choice supports local agriculture and the regional economy.
