About the Event

Are you looking for your next big challenge after conquering cycling sportives, ultra-trails, and road races? Look no further than Kyma, an innovative seaside endurance event set against the backdrop of Marseille's stunning beaches. Scheduled to start at the beginning of October, this unique race offers a refreshing twist on traditional formats.
Kyma combines elements of strength stations with endurance sports in its Fitness Race-style format. Participants can choose between two main challenges: "Kyma Run" and "Kyma Swim." The run features 8 kilometers split into eight loops along the coast, while swimmers complete a total distance of 1.6 km across four laps. Both events are designed to push your limits in an atmosphere charged with energy and camaraderie.
A standout feature of Kyma is its duo format—participants compete as pairs, fostering mutual support during tough moments. This dynamic partnership not only adds a layer of strategy but also enhances the celebratory spirit once you cross the finish line together.
After the race, explore Marseille's rich cultural offerings. Enjoy a stroll around the historic Old Port, where bustling markets and excellent seafood restaurants await. Don't miss out on trying local delicacies like bluefin tuna and squid while taking in the vibrant atmosphere of this Mediterranean gem.
For those seeking more adventure, nearby Cassis and La Ciotat offer breathtaking calanques for exploration. Alternatively, visit the Mucem or climb up to Notre-Dame de la Garde for panoramic views over Marseille's cityscape.
Kyma promises an unforgettable experience that combines physical challenge with seaside charm and cultural immersion. Join us this fall in Marseille and push yourself to (ky)maximum power!
