On 19 April 2026, the Semi-Marathon International de Nice returns to the Côte d’Azur, turning the Promenade des Anglais and central Nice into a picture-postcard road-running festival. The programme includes the showcase half marathon (21.1 km), a 10 km, a 5 km, and family/kids’ races of around 1.5 km, so there’s a distance for everyone from beginners to experienced club runners. The route is a certified road course run entirely on asphalt, following long, straight sections of the seafront and nearby city streets with only gentle elevation (around 60–70 m of total climb), making it both fast and accessible. With the Mediterranean on one side, palm-lined boulevards on the other, and typically mild spring conditions, it’s a classic coastal race where many come to chase personal bests or simply enjoy a scenic Sunday on the Riviera.
