Eze - Nice - 50K
From the Col d’Eze the course heads for the Fort de la Revère and climbs to its highest point, the Cime de Cabanelle at 1,090 m, looking over the Mercantour on one side and the Riviera on the other. It continues through the pre-Alpine foothills and on the trails of Mont Leuze.
The race page names one aid station, on the Saint-Michel plateau above Villefranche-sur-Mer and Cap Ferrat. The finish comes along clifftop paths, past Port Lympia and along the Promenade des Anglais. The organiser lists 2 Running Stones and direct entry to the finals category. Cutoffs and start waves are not on the race page.
From the Cime de Cabanelle the Riviera is already in view, but the finish is still a long way down and along the coast. A runner who shares a Livebib link lets family see the position on the course line, distance covered and a finish estimate that updates as the race goes, in a browser with no account or app, so they can be at the Promenade in time. If the signal drops in the foothills, the position is carried forward along the course and marked as estimated. The runner decides who gets the link.
