The Semi-Marathon International de Nice (Nice Half Marathon) is a seafront half marathon on the French Riviera, held on a Sunday in mid-April. Azur Sport Organisation organises it under the aegis of the City of Nice, and the 34th edition took place on 19 April 2026. The half marathon starts at 08:00 on the Promenade des Anglais and finishes on the Promenade des Anglais opposite the Jardins Albert 1er. The organiser lists the course sectors as the Promenade des Anglais, the Promenade du Paillon and the port of Nice, with 65 metres of climb and a 3-hour time limit. The race holds the French Athletics Federation's Gold label and is a qualifier for the French championships. A 10 km, a 5 km, a family relay and children's races take place over the same weekend. The organiser reports 9,000 runners in the half marathon in 2025, and the 2026 half marathon sold out. A supplement of 1 euro per entry goes to the Banque Alimentaire des Alpes-Maritimes. The race was launched in 1992.

The Race
Nice
The Nice half marathon was launched in 1992 and reached international standard around 1995, when East African runners began entering and winning. The organising association, Azur Sport Organisation, says it developed from 1992 in step with the Nice half, and later added the Prom'Classic 10 km and the Marathon des Alpes-Maritimes Nice-Cannes.
