Course / Route Map
The course distance of 20,308 metres falls slightly short of the true half marathon distance (21,097.5 m). However, the race is made more difficult by a long 327 m rise up a hill—the Col de la Gineste—at the mid-point of the course, which eventually follows back down into the port of Cassis.
The race starts at Velodrome Stadium (Boulevard Michelet) in Marseille and finishes at The port of Cassis. Rock music, pop music, cheer-girls – a variety of different spectacles are planned all along the course to support and encourage the runners.
