Ekiden de Toulon is a 42.195 km marathon-format race held in Toulon, a port city in the Var department of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur in southern France. Typically held near the start of March, it is classified as an urban trail, positioning it between a road marathon and a city trail, distinct from a mountain race. The format also supports team running, with the organizer offering assistance to incomplete teams seeking additional runners, a helpful detail for those wishing to participate without a full squad.
The course is described as a 42 km trail route within Toulon, welcoming runners of all abilities. A Mini Ekiden is also offered. The event maintains an online archive of photos from past editions, indicating a local race with an established community rather than a singular occurrence. Essential information, including registration forms, rules, results, and a Facebook page, is readily available, allowing participants to review team arrangements and logistics prior to registration.
