Marathon Provence Luberon Méditerranée

Happiness in the baskets

For all sizes
A marathon is difficult… But in the Luberon, it was thought to everybody. At any age, any level of sport, whatever your ambitions, you will find your happiness necessarily: running or walking tasting.

The refreshments for the enjoyment of taste buds
Too many riders fail to eat during the race. They are wrong because it may result in serious consequences. The hydration and nutrition are fundamental elements of the performance, and usability. Recognizing its problems, the organizers have not skimped on the means. All 2 km, at most 3, stands a refreshment stand. On the shelves, the products are not missing. Alongside the fruit, water, energy drinks and other cereal bars, are offered products and specialties. When a large portion of riders will have taken some bananas, and a little water, the bulk of the pack dwell at each booth to sample the different products. The refreshments then take another turn and you will understand better why some have embarked on this marathon there, rather than another.

After the effort, muscle recovery
A marathon, necessarily, that use the body. The race ended, it is important to recover because the trauma for several hours undoubtedly leave their mark. A medical service is introduced. In addition to the indispensable doctors, physiotherapists are available to participants immediately crossed the finish. With Sandrine Germain, a physiotherapist at La Tour d'Aigues twenty physiotherapists pupils of the school in Marseilles are present every year to provide massages after the race. She oversees this part of the medical staff with a lot of energy and good humour.

The Volunteers for accommodating riders
The success of an event of this magnitude would be inconceivable without the help and support of hundreds of volunteers. Today, the event asked 400 people on the two days dedicated to the event. These issues are usually different sports associations or local cultural, but it is no longer enough.
It is always with great pleasure that the organizers welcome volunteers from here or elsewhere. Thus we saw come of Brittany, for Marseilles lend a helping hand to volunteer forever. Among these include: the association "Mille Paw" (walkers and hikers du Luberon).

The rewards
The Marathon awareness of the region to many people and gives them the desire to return. How? Giving simply the recipients of awards to consume in the Luberon (residences, restaurants, hotel nights,…). All participants will leave anyway with a little Luberon: 5000 T-shirts signed to the label of Marathon and 8000 bottles of wine Côtes du Luberon distributed ambassadors of the appellation.
