Run In Marseille

To honour these 42.195 km of intense effort for marathoners, we have prepared a superb route around the Phocean city. Our objective is to make this Marathon a unique event and a highlight of your running career.

What is more unique than setting off from the edge of the world? The famous Goudes, situated at the heart of the Parc National des Calanques is where you’ll begin the most Mediterranean of races, because there is nothing like running along the seafront. You will visit some of Marseille’s most emblematic sites surrounded by hoards of locals who have come to brave the mistral. Don’t worry, the city’s famous Bonne Mère lifeboat is there to look after the sailors, fishermen… and runners.

After running through the new Velodrome Stadium, in the Parc Borély and the Place Castellane, you will reach the Vieux Port via the Corniche, for a magical finish, where we will welcome you with a reception fitting for someone who has completed such a challenge.

Half marathoners will undoubtedly enjoy a very pleasant run in a city which, from a cultural and historical point of view, is as good as any. You will set off from the MUCEM, before running through some of the most emblematic sites in Marseille. As you leave the Parc Borely, you will join the Corniche and follow the Mediterranean coast. Is there anything more enjoyable than running along the seafront? From this point onwards, you will follow the Mediterranean coast right until you cross the finish line at the one and only Vieux Port.

Whether it’s your 3rd, 5th or even 22nd Half-Marathon, rest assured that this route is magnificent! You will also love the fantastic setting in which the race takes place. We want this Run In Marseille by Harmonie Mutuelle to be a great memory in your running career!
