Marseille-Cassis welcomed 700
runners from its very first edition. It has gradually become a
reference in the local culture. With no less than 15 000 registrations
today, this race managed to win the “Label Argent” of the International
Association of Athletics Federations. This
label ranks it among the 50 largest/biggest
races in the world.
