Nice Half Marathon

Course & Elevation

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.
