Nîmes Half-Marathon

Nîmes Half Marathon

In Nîmes, May 1 is celebrated by running. The half marathon has long been a popular event, organized by a local club and attracting thousands of runners every year. The race starts at the foot of the Roman arenas and follows a flat course through the city center before passing through the amphitheater itself, a moment many participants look forward to. A 10K and a 5K complete the program, so everyone can find their distance. The atmosphere is that of a city festival, with runners in costume, marching bands and crowds of spectators lining the streets under the spring sunshine of the Gard region.
