The route
The race runs out and back along the famous Promenade des Anglais, hugging the Baie des Anges shoreline. It is pancake-flat, sun-soaked and reputedly France's fastest 10K, ideal for a January personal best.
Entry fee
Indicative entry is £30 per runner. Confirm the current bib price on the official site; ballot, charity, and tour prices can differ. The weekend total (hotel, travel, extras) sits in the estimator, not in the bib price.
Where to stay
Stay along or just behind the Promenade des Anglais, or in Nice's atmospheric Old Town (Vieux Nice) a short walk from the course.
Getting there
Nice Cote d'Azur (NCE) is about 20-30 minutes from the centre via tram line 2 or a taxi along the coast.
That weekend
Bib pick-up is at a seafront race village; extend the trip with the Old Town markets, the coastal walk to Villefranche, or a day in Monaco.
Sample 4-day trip
Arrive, explore, race, then head home. A proper weekend, not a rushed fly-by.
