Orange Vélodrome Trail 2026

The Orange Vélodrome Trail is a November urban race held within and around Marseille’s Orange Vélodrome, the home stadium of Olympique de Marseille. The primary route is 8 km, with additional 4 km and 2 km Family Run options, catering to those seeking a stadium challenge, families, and shorter-distance participants. The 8 km course features 2,500 steps and 250 m of elevation gain, presenting a stair-heavy stadium run rather than a typical flat city race. The course guides runners through areas of the Orange Vélodrome usually viewed from the stands, extending into Stade Delort and the Jean Bouin and Ganay forecourts. The shorter routes maintain the urban-trail concept: the 4 km course includes 150 m of climbing, and the Family Run has 100 m. The event highlights its Marseille location, with the football stadium as the central focus, not merely a setting. The formats accommodate solo runners, groups, children, and individuals interested in running through a well-known city sports landmark.
