The event in a few words
Marseille-Cassis! Just the name alone makes you want to be there 😍.
Southern France, Bouches-du-Rhône, French Riviera, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (PACA), beaches 🏖️, sea 🌊, calanques 🏞️, sunshine 🌞, breathtaking landscapes, want more? 🤔 Only a fool would deny the beauty of the south of France 🤪.
The famous Marseille-Cassis race needs no introduction... Yet, we're still going to tell you a bit more about this globally renowned event 🌎. Founded in 1979, the first edition saw 700 participants join the race 🤓. Today, more than 20,000 participants take to the course each year! 🤯 And it's in October, so neither too hot 🥵 nor too cold 🥶. The south is just perfect! 😜
Meet up at the Orange Vélodrome stadium in Marseille, not for an Olympique Marseille 🔵⚪️ match, but to start this amazing road race 🛣️. The magic of Marseille-Cassis also lies in its route 🧭. Yes, along the 20 km, you'll experience a multitude of picture-postcard landscapes 🌅, including the cross through the Calanques National Park, offering a breathtaking natural panorama over 12 km 🥰. The grand finale? You finish your journey in the heart of the vineyards of Provence, in Cassis. Not a bad way to finish, right? 😅.
If you're here for the Marathon Marseille-Cassis, it doesn't exist 😬, but you can definitely take on the return Cassis-Marseille journey, it works too 🙃. You'll experience all sorts of challenges with quite a few ups and downs, a 5 km climb 📈, and the Col de la Gineste ⛰️ located at 326 meters above sea level, but trust us, the beauty of the course and the diversity of the landscapes will make you forget all about the pain 😌. It's no wonder that every year, runners from all over the world 🏃 mark the Marseille-Cassis date in their calendars… 🗓️
If you're up for the challenge ✅, note that the bibs for the 20 km Marseille-Cassis are highly sought after, and the race usually sells out weeks before the event! 🥲 Don't worry, there's a resale system once registrations close, but be quick if you want to secure your precious pass and have a chance to cross the finish line 🏁.
After such an energy spree 🔋, you're bound to be hungry 🍽️. Unless you've got some bouillabaisse left in your backpack 🎒, we can offer you a nice anchoïade toast for starters 😋. Because around here, it's always time for aperitif! 🥂 And if you're not too shy, the calanques and the Mediterranean are yours for a refreshing swim 🏊♂️. Otherwise, head back to Marseille to enjoy all its wonders ✨.
