We are planning our annual trip to the South of France for the Nice Half Marathon or 10k.
Along the years, the Semi-Marathon International de Nice has growing to become one of the most important sporting event on the French Riviera. This edition welcomes you from next 17th april until 20th april on the famous Promenade des Anglais.
Thanks to the faithful of the city of Nice and to the Conseil Régional Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, Azur Sport Organisation invites you to experience a festive event over 3 days close to about 8,000 expected French and oversea runners. (16% of oversea runners in 2007).
This success is the consequence of the team work between Azur Sport Organisation and the departments of the Nice town Hall, our private partners and our promotion on the stands of the most important running events all over the year in France but also in Europe.
As for the races, 4 races are proposed to the entrants, the most famous one is the 21,1 km, the 10 km, but also a free race for the children between 9 and 15 - the 2 km Défi Running Collèges- and the popular 3 km “Tout Nice Court Contre le cancer” du sein which supports the fight against the Breast Cancer with the association Résiste 06.
The cost including flight and 3 nights hotel is £260 based on a single room or £200 each in a twin sharing.
