La Veni Vici 2026: where to stay between Uzès, the Pont du Gard and Nîmes

Bib collection and shuttles

According to the event listing published by the tourist office, bibs can be collected on Friday 6 November, from 10 am to 9 pm, at the Pont du Gard site (left bank), then on race day from 6 am. Paid shuttles leave on the morning of the race: from the Nîmes arena to Uzès for the 87 km (€12), to the Pont du Gard for the 52 km (€11), and from the Pont du Gard to Uzès for the 33 km races (€6).

In practice, staying near the Pont du Gard on Friday lets you collect your bib at the end of the day without getting back in the car.

Starting in Uzès: stay in the centre

For the 87 km, which starts at 7:30 am, the best night is the one from which you walk to the start. The Maison Belon, in the historic centre, sleeps up to ten people in four apartments: a whole club fits in, and everyone keeps their own shower room. For one or two runners, our apartments in the centre, such as the Saint Julien, do the same on a smaller scale.

Starting at the Pont du Gard: stay in Vers-Pont-du-Gard

The 52 km starts at the Pont du Gard at 8 am, the 18 km at 2 pm. L'Oustal Di Fabre, in Vers-Pont-du-Gard, is a few minutes from the site: eleven beds and a large kitchen for the pasta dinner the night before.

Finishing in Nîmes: recover on the spot

Runners on the 87 km and the 52 km finish at the Nîmes arena. The Villa Romana, south of the city, sleeps twelve people: an option for the team welcoming the runners at the finish and staying one more night.
