Es Sraidi wins the marathon de Nantes, Terecha set a new record

 Julien Gaborieau is in charge of the promotion and communication of the Marathon de Nantes. He is part of a team of 12 to 15 people who are passionate about running. Each of them works in its area of expertise for the sole purpose of putting up the best race for the participants. 
  §staticmap(1352,5)   Hello Julien, April 17, 2011 you will organize the Marathon de Nantes. Could you tell us where it is located?  
 Hello, the Marathon de Nantes found its usual date back, on Sunday, April 17, 2011. The race will start at the feet of the giant elephant of the Machines de l’Ile, a major attraction of the city (see photo of the start line below), on the Isle of Nantes. 
 Nantes is the 6th largest city in France. It is situated to the west, near Brittany, 45 minutes from the beaches of the Atlantic coast (including La Baule) and 2 hours from Paris by train. 
 For several years, the city, long time home of the Dukes of Brittany, has been elected by the French national press “France’s most pleasant city”. 
  How old is the race and why was it created in the first place?  
 The first Marathon was held in Nantes in 1981. It is the second oldest race in France after the Paris Marathon. 
 Since 2008 and the new organization of the Marathon de Nantes, the race has undergone a major face-lift and comes back in the city center, with entertainment stations throughout the route and an ever growing number or participants. 
 A city as large and renowned as Nantes had to host a race which could do it justice. 
    
  Credit : Yves Mainguy   What kind of route did you set up for the runners? Could you describe it?  
 The route, urban, rich in history and heritage monuments from Nantes, is quite fast and ideal to break a Personal Best. Over 75% of the route is located in downtown Nantes. Moreover, this marathon has a unique relationship with the Loire and Erdre, since during more than 15&nbsp;km, participants will run along France’s longest river (the Loire) and France’s most beautiful river (the Erdre). From this point of view, the race is “comparable” to the  New York Marathon with 7 bridge crossing. 
 After starting near the giant elephant, the runners arrive in the city center and run past the most important monuments of Nantes: Place Royale, Cours des 50 otages, Brittany Tower, Cathedral, Castle of the Dukes of Brittany… At 35&nbsp;km marathon runners pass through the Jardin des Plantes (Botanical Gardens), one of the most beautiful parks in Europe, before returning to the start line, where the finish line is also located. 
  How many runners do you expect this Sunday morning? What type of runners do you plan to attract?  
 We expect over 2,500 runners (2,200 runners in 2010). People from all over France and neighboring countries take part in this event. We would be delighted to welcome more and more foreigners and help them discover, through our race, one of the most beautiful cities in France. 
 This marathon is meant to be popular, but of course, we also reward the best performers. The race record is 2:15:44 and awaits to be broken. 
    
  Credit : Yves Mainguy   Have you planned other races during the Weekend? If so, on what distances?  
 We are currently working on a new project. We will certainly keep you informed of its progress. 
 However, we organize a Nordic walking initiation and a hike (6/7 km) to discover this new sport. This animation is held on the eve of the marathon on Saturday afternoon. It is totally free and open to all without registration. 
 We also open up the event to teams of 4 runners. The Marathon Relay is a corporate race only. It is a great team building experience and offers a new way to run the 42.195 km. 
 A half marathon is also open to wheelchair athletes. 
 I invite you to visit our web site www.marathondenantes.com for more information. 
    
  Credit : Yves Mainguy   At that time of the year, what kind of weather can we expect?  
 The temperate maritime climate is strongly influenced by the proximity of the coast. In April, temperatures are optimal for an event like the marathon (12 to 15°C or 53 to 59°F). 
 In early spring, we hope to have sunshine but the rain may invite itself to the race. For 2011, don’t worry we ordered sunshine ;-) 
    
 Have you planned festivities around the marathon?  
 Of course! This marathon is meant to be popular and festive. Over 20 bands are scattered along the route. Activities are also planned in the heart of the village Marathon on Saturday and Sunday. A team is dedicated to recruiting bands and activities for the race. 
 In addition, over 600 volunteers and the Nantais (inhabitants of the city) are also mobilized to cheer participants up throughout the race. 
    
  Credit : Yves Mainguy   The marathon finished, what advice would you give a runner who has never been to Nantes before? A good restaurant, a fancy sightseeing?  
 The range of activities and outings is important. Sightseeing, for example, the castle of the Dukes of Brittany, Machines of the Isle of Nantes, still more impressive, the Nantes vineyards … 
 A good restaurant? There are  lots of them in Nantes and for all tastes, gourmet, traditional … without forgetting Brittany’s famous and traditional pancakes. 
 The Atlantic Coast, Cote d’Amour is nearby (La Baule, Guérande …).  
And for those seeking peace and quiet, there is nothing like a little rest in city parks : Parc de Procé, the Japanese garden on the Isle of Versailles and the Jardin des Plantes welcome you … 
 There is much to do, believe me … 
  In a single sentence, what would you tell the readers of ahotu Marathons to make them register for the Marathon de Nantes?  
 Come participate in this race, you’ll make your own opinion on the quality of the event, the pleasure of the route and the beauty of the city of Nantes. Check on our Facebook profile, the reports from past years’ participants. 
 Thank you Julien
