Marathon Nice-Cannes
Marathon Nice-Cannes is a flat marathon in Nice, France, held each November. One of France's biggest marathons: roughly 95% of the route hugs the Riviera coastline from the Promenade des Anglais to the Croisette — mostly flat with gentle undulations. Early November on the Côte d'Azur is often ideal, 10-17C. On a course as flat as Marathon Nice-Cannes, even splits are everything; the classic mistake is banking time in the first third.
