Le Calvaire Antibois

Elevate your running game at the Calvaire Antibois, the most panoramic 10km race on the Côte d'Azur, returning on Sunday, March 29, 2026. Far from your standard flat road race, this event is a true test of character set between the sparkling Mediterranean and lush pine forests. Starting from the postcard-perfect Plage de la Salis, runners face the ramparts of Antibes' old town before diving into the wild coastal beauty of the iconic Cap d'Antibes. It is an essential fixture for anyone seeking a race that rewards physical grit with world-class views.

The race earns its legendary name at the halfway point: the formidable Calvaire climb. This sharp, demanding ascent (gaining approximately 150m in elevation) leads you to the summit of the Garoupe Plateau. Reaching the top under the watchful eye of the historic lighthouse, the burn in your legs is instantly forgotten as you are greeted by a breathtaking 360-degree vista of the Mercantour peaks and the turquoise sea. The descent provides a thrilling, high-speed finish as you wind back down toward the shoreline to cross the line under the Mediterranean sun.

Organized by the ASOA, the Calvaire Antibois gathers nearly 700 passionate runners each year, maintaining a friendly yet competitive atmosphere. The 2026 edition also features a Free Kids' Run, ensuring the next generation can experience the magic of the Garoupe. With registration priced at an accessible €15 and spots limited to preserve the quality of the coastal paths, bibs sell out quickly. Secure your place today and prepare to tame the mythic slopes of Antibes in an unforgettable spring challenge!
