The Semi-marathon du Pont Rouge begins in Sérignan, a coastal town in the Hérault department of Occitanie, using the Orb river as its primary landmark. The main event is a 21.1 km half marathon. A 10.5 km run and walk, Nordic walking, free walking, and children’s races are also offered. The City of Sérignan is the organizer, and the half-marathon is limited to 1,000 runners.
The half-marathon starts in the town center, proceeds to the right-bank plain below the Querelle estate, and returns through town before crossing the Saint Roch footbridge near the Pont Rouge. It then continues onto left-bank trails, providing participants with both town streets and river-side paths instead of a basic out-and-back road race. Recent results indicate a modest local participation: 275 entries, 260 starters, 235 classified finishers, and only two recorded abandons. The event is in its early stages, with its 10th edition upcoming.
