To ensure the smooth running of the race which will start this Sunday from the Promenade des Anglais, traffic will be prohibited on certain roads throughout the day.
Traffic restrictions are expected this Sunday during the Alpes-Maritimes marathon between Nice and Cannes. The axes on which the competitors will pass will be impacted.
Traffic prohibited on the entire route
The race will start at 8 a.m. from the Promenade des Anglais in Nice. The runners will then take the RD / RM 6098 seaside road before arriving on the Cannes Croisette. During the 42.195-kilometer course, competitors will also cross the towns of Saint-Laurent-du-Var, Cagnes-sur-Mer, Villeneuve-Loubet, Antibes, Juan-les-Pins and Vallauris.
To ensure the smooth running of this 13th edition of the marathon which will pass 95% by the seaside, traffic restrictions will be put in place on the route this Sunday.
