The Course des Étangs is a running event in Marignane, organized by the Stadium Club Marignanais and the city. Participants begin at the Parc des Sports du Bolmon, with distinct starts for walkers and individuals with reduced mobility, alongside 5 km and 10.5 km race choices. The event accommodates a range of abilities, not solely focusing on speed, and anticipates over 400 participants.
The course runs alongside the water, crossing some of Marignane’s natural landscapes, such as the Balade des Familles. The longer distance extends towards the Étang de Berre and passes through the Parc des 4 Vents. A dedicated track race for children aged 6 to 12 circles the Bolmon stadium, featuring no inclines. The Runner’s Village will offer a complimentary smoothie station and osteopaths providing guidance on healthy athletic habits.
