A great way to see the major sites of Toulouse. The last half of the race winds through the city center along the Garrone river and Le Canal du Midi ending at the beautiful Place Capitole. Late October usually in 50’s make for great running weather. Shuttles to the start well organized. Only snafu this year was the slow security checkpoint to the starting area the runners had to pass.
