The event in a few words

Are you ready for immediate takeoff? 🛫 The Salon-de-Provence Marathon invites you to its celebration and promises to lift you to new heights! 🪂 This event will take place over two days, first on Saturday with a special aviation-themed day and a gala in the evening 🤵‍♂️. Then, on Sunday, get your sneakers ready for the 10 km, the 21 km, or the irreplaceable 42.195 km. What better than to run in Salon-de-Provence... 🏃‍♀️ This city, from the Bouches-du-Rhône, breathes the gentle sun of the Côte d'Azur that we all love ☀️. It's the quintessential Provençal town, with its narrow little alleys, stone houses, and the song of the crickets 🪻. Plus, the race takes place at the beginning of October, which means you can enjoy ideal temperatures with the Indian summer 🌡️. Put on your sunglasses, tie your laces, and off you go 😎.

Three mythical distances just for you, not bad right? 😍 And let's be honest, the experience offered by the Salon-de-Provence Marathon doesn't come around every day 🛩️. Indeed, for the three courses, the runners will share some strides on the mythical 701 airbase of Salon-de-Provence 👩‍✈️. The one that usually sees Rafales and aerobatic planes pass by will see many runners ready to compete 💪. It almost feels like Top Gun 🫡, by the way, feel free to tell us if you spot Tom Cruise 🤫. It's an exceptional journey that awaits the participants 👣, because in addition to feasting their eyes 🤩, they will also indulge their noses with the gentle scent of pines accompanying them on all the courses 🥸.

After the race, Salon-de-Provence rewards you 😉. And yes, it's no wonder the south is so coveted, as it has plenty to offer 🎁. You can, for example, take a look towards the Fontaine Moussue, which is somewhat the center of gravity of the town ⛲. Then to immerse yourself in the local culture, nothing beats visiting the local markets 👩‍🌾. You will discover local crafts, and regional specialties 💐. We also recommend a detour to the Château de l'Empéri, a historical monument that watches over the Plaine de la Crau. We have quite a long list of activities to suggest, but we recommend foremost to enjoy yourself ❤️. The Salon-de-Provence Marathon offers a truly unique experience, so live it to the fullest by enjoying every moment! 🥰

Seize your chance and board this experience that will take you to new heights 🔝.
