Marathon means 10 000 people, men and women, young and old, who ran along the coast between Nice and Cannes, a race of 42,195 kilometers.
Mais ce qui est le plus impressionnant, c'est toute la logistique mise en place autour de l'évènement;
But what is very impressive is all the logistics around this event.
Des grues pour les équipes télé..
Cranes for T.V. teams..
Le buffet,(pour 10 000 personnes!) devant lequel se trouve le gagnant,qui a couru l'épreuve en juste un peu plus de deux heures..
The sideboard, (to feed 10 000 people!) in front of which is the winner, who made the distance in a little more than two hours...
T-shirts as gifts for the runners..
Trophies for the winners of each kind..
Water for everyone...
On admire, à juste titre, les coureurs.Mais que dire des organisateurs, qui ont aussi pour challenge de remettre tout en état dès que la course est finie..et des difficultés pour retrouver, à l'arrivée, sa famille ou ses amis?!..
More food..
La ligne d'arrivée..
The arrival..

To run such a long time is a real challenge.
But another real challenge is to clean everything as soon as the race is over.And a last one was to find friends or family in the crowd!

I am familiar with a marathon. I WALKED the Portland, Oregon marathon just 4 years ago. I just did it to complete the 25 plus miles, not to win any prize. We did get a medal, a T shirt, a pin, and a small tree just for finishing. We got free drinks along the way and if you finished by a certain time, there was a dinner and they gave out the winning medals there. I finished and didn't race. I like to walk.
It is exciting event.
I think 2:25 is a nice record.
