This 48 km solo race is the perfect balance to discover the Veni Vici. It’s a “marathon” distance, somewhere in between the full 82 km (which scares some people) and the 27 km that others find a bit too short. After a grand and historic start at the Nîmes Arena, you’ll dive almost immediately into the heart of the race. With a few nice climbs right away, reminding you to stay focused. Easy now, aspiring centurion, at this point, the road is still long!

Get ready for a heritage festival starting in Roman Nîmes, with the Arena, the Maison Carrée, the lush slopes of the Jardins de la Fontaine, and the famous Tour Magne. When you reach the charming municipal park of Mas d’Escattes, you’ll be in the garrigue, with the winding Gard paths. The up-and-down climbs will follow one after the other, at a fast pace, through villages and increasingly magical sites: Cabrières and Lédenon (with its castles), the surprising underground tunnels of Sernhac dug by the Romans (through which water once flowed to Nîmes), and then the magnificent ridges offering beautiful views of the plain and Mont Ventoux.

Once you’ve crossed St-Bonnet-du-Gard, you’ll be treated to a joyful series of downhill slopes leading to the superb and majestic Pont du Gard, where your finish will be celebrated at its foot.

At that point, you’ll certainly have all the freedom to shout: “I came, I conquered, I survived!” And if you feel overwhelmed with emotion, let it all out—it was just so BEAUTIFUL and GOOD! Those Romans were definitely crazy. It’s pure joy!

The 27 km is the perfect compromise for those who aren’t quite ready for the full VENI VICI (82 km) between the Nîmes Arena and the Duchy of Uzès or the 48 km between Nîmes and the Pont du Gard. You’ll start at the foot of the majestic Pont du Gard on Saturday at 3:00 PM under (hopefully) a generous southern sun, in the opposite direction of the route offered last year.

You will immediately be immersed in a lush, historical atmosphere as you follow the remains of the Roman aqueduct and its famous arches. Then, you’ll pass through the charming village of Vers-Pont-du-Gard, where, at the exit, you’ll have the chance to run through the aqueduct’s canal and along the quarries where the stones were extracted to build the Pont du Gard (still in use). Just that!

Next, you’ll continue through the hills that smell of thyme and rosemary, passing through typically Gard villages (Argilliers and Saint-Maximin), before heading toward the finish line towards the valley of Eure, where the Roman aqueduct of Nîmes originated. Then, it’s your turn for the beautiful final climb towards the heart of medieval Uzès and its famous castle, at the foot of which you’ll cross the finish line, mostly in the dark for most participants. 2000 years of history are yours, with a triumphant smile, young centurion!

Why should it be only for runners? This 27 km ‘Nordic walking’ route, intended for sporty walkers who don’t like to dawdle, will allow them to play with the clock and poles (allowed but not mandatory) for those who wish.

As for the rest, it’s the same as for the 27 km runners: departure at the foot of the imposing Pont du Gard on Saturday morning under (hopefully) a generous southern sun, in the opposite direction of the route offered last year.

You will immediately be immersed in a lush, historical atmosphere as you follow the remains of the Roman aqueduct and its famous arches. Then, you will pass through the charming village of Vers-Pont-du-Gard, where, at the exit, you’ll have the chance to run through the aqueduct’s canal and along the quarries where the stones were extracted to build the Pont du Gard (still in use).

The 16 km is the ideal distance to discover VENI VICI while running. Even non-initiated and occasional runners have their place on this route with a reasonable elevation gain (420m D+) and difficulty level. It’s a good introduction before aiming for longer distances in the following years.

The atmosphere will be set from the outset with a start at the foot of the imposing Pont du Gard on Saturday early afternoon under inevitably Mediterranean sun. It’s hard to find a more magical setting! You’ll take in the best of both the right and left bank sides on a playful, energetic, and verdant route that will introduce you to the finest of the Pont du Gard site and elevate you to overlook the monument listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. An unforgettable experience!

We want VENI VICI to be a beautiful, popular, and friendly event, not only reserved for runners but also showcasing the Gard region. This is achieved with the new ‘hike’ formula, open to ages 7 and up, offering a best-of experience of the Pont du Gard site. It’s okay to love nature, history, heritage, and not worry about the clock!

This hike, perfect for families, is an ideal way to discover the most iconic part of the Nîmes aqueduct, built in the 1st century, at your own pace, without time constraints. It’s suitable for individuals, friends, or families, as long as they were born before December 31, 2018.

On an unprecedented hiking trail that showcases the stunning environment of the Pont du Gard site, you’ll experience a true sports course (320 meters elevation gain), slightly smoother and less technical than the 16 km run.

Like all other participants, you’ll enjoy a lovely refreshment station and a delicious beer or lemonade brewed by a local artisan to ‘replay the match’ as a team at the finish line.
