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 installation, placed 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 water crossing, which is nothing less than a world first in the marathon universe, is a result of the reconfiguration of the usual route due to the closure for work on the Anne-de-Bretagne bridge. Thanks to this unique innovation, the organizers have successfully turned a constraint into a memorable and unexpected experience.
Some Info About the Route
In addition to this grand arrival, the marathon will take runners through the iconic sites of Nantes: the Machines of the Isle, Graslin Square, Royal Square, Parc de Procé, the Botanical Garden, and the Isle of Versailles.
The detailed route will be revealed in the coming weeks, but this crossing already promises to add a unique visual and emotional element.
This is clearly the sports event not to be missed in Nantes in 2025.
