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!

[ Do not rely on the elevation gain indicated on Openrunner below. The mapping tool—which we love otherwise—has some difficulty capturing the countless steep climbs that characterize the challenging and dynamic terrain of the Veni Vici. We won’t hold it against them, as the routes drawn in our beautiful Gard scrubland have left many participants bewildered. ]
