Running along the right bank of the Gironde estuary, the Marathon Royan Côte de Beauté treats us to stunning panoramic views. Just remember to keep an eye on the road between two "wows" at the scenery!

Feeling good? Head to place Charles de Gaulle for the start. The Marathon Royan Côte de Beauté leaves no one behind with a wide range of races for all levels. Seafront, beaches, streets as charming as they are festive… pure joy. For the occasion, the entire seaside resort comes alive. Case in point: the event is a member of the Festiviales, an association that prides itself on mixing running and partying (its members include the Trail du Cassoulet and the Marathon de Cognac, just to give you an idea of the vibe).
The event doesn't stop at the races: a 1,500 m2 marathon village with a funfair feel is there to lift your spirits after your DNF, your shuffle, or your technicolor yawn (delete as appropriate). And if you've dragged your kids along, 5 dedicated races will let them push their limits too (and burn off some energy). More fun than a babysitter.
