Marathon Côte Indigo 2027

The Marathon Côte Indigo begins in Saint-Pierre-la-Mer, a seaside resort on France’s Mediterranean coast in Fleury, Aude department, Occitanie. This mid-April event offers a weekend of road running, including a full marathon, half marathon, 10 km, 5 km, relay marathon, Nordic walking, non-timed options, and children’s races, catering to both serious runners and families. The course runs between the Mediterranean Sea and the Massif de la Clape, passing beaches, vineyards, garrigue scrubland, and a section of the local wine route. The marathon features approximately 127 meters of elevation gain, with the 10 km and 5 km courses having less, around 40 and 20 meters respectively. Live music from fanfares and bandas is present along the route. The 5 km race benefits the Arpan du Grand Narbonne animal refuge. Participation has grown significantly, from over 2,000 runners at its first edition to more than 4,000 in recent years.
