Course description

Point to point on the Cote d'Azur: starting on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, finishing on the Croisette in Cannes, with 42 kilometres of Mediterranean coast road in between. The November date is one of the most popular in France — in 2025 the race was full six months out.

Coach tip

Point to point means logistics: travel to the start, your kit bag and the way back all belong in the plan before race weekend.

The course is not flat but gently rolling along the coast — hold effort steady over the small rises rather than defending a split.

Sea wind is the norm here; find a group instead of fighting it alone.
