Cross de Marseille is a winter cross-country meet at Campagne Pastré in Marseille, on parkland set between the Mediterranean and the hills. It is not an open fun run: the races are reserved for licensed FFA athletes, with entries handled through official federation and club channels.
The event doubles as the Departmental Cross Championship and also hosts a semi-final round of the French Relay Cross Championship. The course uses several loop formats, from a children’s loop through small, medium, and large loops, and three named trophies are awarded: Mémorial Jean Bouin, Emile Bardy, and Adrien Flayol.
