The 20 km competition from Nice to Villeneuve-Loubet was an event of its own nature within the Marathon des Alpes-Maritimes Nice-Cannes. Though I run the cost line often casually, it had been 7 years since my last participation in a great run event here. In 2017, 2018 and 2019 I ran the marathon Nice-Cannes (in 3:05 h, 3:15 h and 3:02 h back then). This was my first return to this event since then, going half way this time (in 1:24 h).

The 20 km accounted for 2544 runners. And the weather could not have been any nicer. Stunning sunrise over the startline on the Promenade des Anglais, and beautiful sunshine at the finish line next to the sea. Wow.

This was on 8 Nov. 2026.

In October there were the Baden-Württemberg half marathon state championships. Along with Adrianna I represented LAC Degerloch, placing 5th in M55.
