Triathlon in France
Running here as a visitor
The hardest part of training somewhere new isn't the route — it's not knowing anyone. This is who is in France over the next three months: runners who live here, and runners passing through.
Running in France: the long reads
The things a race listing can't tell you — what the conditions actually cost you, where people really run, what to carry, and what running is like in every region on the map. 3 guides, 20 minutes of reading.
The conditions
Eleven years of dawn records for the mildest climate Verus covers — and the one real reminder, in June 2026, that a good average is not the same as no risk.
Where to run
Nice and Cannes's flat waterfront promenades, the trail network through the volcanic Massif de l'Estérel, and the coastal marathon that connects the two cities.
Triathlon and open water
The coast where long-course triathlon was effectively invented — Nice's IRONMAN history, T100 French Riviera, and a real club and open-water scene beyond both.
