From Roman Nîmes to medieval Uzès, passing over the Pont du Gard, come trace history along the water with your sneakers on, on Saturday, November 8, 2025. You’ll have the chance to explore one of the most remarkable structures in the world, inherited from ancient builders: the Nîmes aqueduct, built 2,000 years ago. Unique and magical.

Hail Caesar, the athletes salute you!

More than just a sport, la VENI VICI will make you discover a major tourist route in France, which is the pride of all Gardois: NÎMES – LE PONT DU GARD – UZÈS, linked by the most famous Roman aqueduct in the world. The Pont du Gard, a masterpiece of ancient architecture, will be the central point of the event (bib pickup, family activities, bus shuttle departure and return point).
