Yes, yes, you read that right! This new edition of the Abalone Marathon in Nantes promises to be the most spectacular in the history of the sport. A spectacular setup at the finish line will allow 5,000 participants to run on water from the Parc des Expositions de La Beaujoire to the city center. Incredible!
A World First
This aquatic crossing, which is nothing less than a world first in the marathon universe, is the result of reconfiguring the usual course due to the closure of the Anne-de-Bretagne bridge for renovations. Thanks to this unique innovation, the organizers have managed to turn a constraint into a memorable and unexpected experience.

This is clearly the sporting event not to be missed in Nantes in 2025.
