Nice Côte d'Azur by UTMB sends runners on a spectacular journey from the peaks of the Mercantour massif to the shores of the French Riviera. With four distances from 20K to 165 km, the courses traverse high alpine terrain above 2,650 meters, chestnut forests, and coastal hills before finishing on the iconic Promenade des Anglais in Nice.
Few trail races in the world offer the dramatic scenic contrast found in Nice Côte d'Azur by UTMB. Starting from mountain villages like Auron and Roubion deep in the Southern Alps, the courses descend through the Mercantour massif, crossing stark mineral landscapes above 2,650 meters, remote valleys, and Mediterranean hill country before arriving at the sea.
The flagship 100 mile race covers 165 kilometers with a staggering 8,900 meters of elevation gain, beginning in high alpine terrain and finishing on the Promenade des Anglais, one of the most famous boulevards in the world. The 100K from Roubion, the 50K from the legendary Col d'Eze, and the 20K from Saint Jean Cap Ferrat each capture a different facet of this extraordinary landscape, from raw mountain wilderness to the glamour of the Riviera.
The finish, with the Mediterranean stretching to the horizon and the palm lined promenade underfoot, is a moment of pure magic. Nice Côte d'Azur by UTMB is where the grandeur of alpine ultra running meets the elegance of the French Riviera, creating an experience that is as refined as it is relentless.
