The maritime alps marathon Nice – Cannes will be held in Nice on Sunday 3 November 2024. The West End Hotel is doing everything in its power to offer participants the best possible welcome.

One of the most beautiful courses in the world 

The 16th edition of the Marathon des Alpes-Maritimes, linking Nice to Cannes along the legendary Côte d’Azur, is back! Since its creation in 2008, nearly 175,000 runners of more than 70 nationalities have taken to the course between the sea and the palm trees, enhancing its international reputation. Certified by the AIMS and recognised by the French Athletics Federation (FFA), this race was awarded the title of ‘World’s Most Beautiful Tourist Marathon’ in 2018 by Forbes Travel Guide, largely thanks to its magnificent scenery and the impressive size of its field.

This iconic event offers several distances to suit all types of runner: the full marathon (42.195km), two half-marathons of 21.1km each, a 20km relay, as well as formats adapted for disabled athletes. The start is at 8am on the Promenade des Anglais for the elite runners, and at 8.03am for the rest of the field. Disabled runners get an early start at 7.57 am.

Those not registered for the Marathon will be able to enjoy the view of the Mediterranean from their room, while cheering on the athletes.

This event brings together between 200 and 300 runners for a relaxed final training session on the Promenade des Anglais.
