Montpellier

Montpellier's running routes favour the flat Mediterranean coast and inland plains around the Lez river, with most activity concentrated on the seafront Promenade and through Parc de la Tête d'Or. The city hosts the Nature MarathonMan and serves as the starting point for the Poco Loco Montpellier, a 700km cycling odyssey that draws riders southwest toward the Pyrenees and Spanish coast. Cyclists exploit the proximity to the Cévennes hills 40km north for serious climbing, but the region's defining challenge is the long-distance touring terrain — flat scrubland and vineyard roads punctuated by mountain passes on the route to Barcelona.
