Course description
A flat marathon on the French Atlantic coast, in the calendar since 1990 and known as a fast course. Starting at Quai Louis Durand, a loop through the city and its coastal suburbs.
Coach tip
A fast, flat course in late November — the best date in the calendar if a personal best is the goal.
The Atlantic wind can turn; stay in a group rather than out alone at the top of your range.
The entry fee has been unchanged for four editions — entering early pays off for the quota, not the price.
