With the 47th edition on the horizon and registration set to open in March, Marseille-Cassis is proud to announce a groundbreaking partnership with the social protection and wealth management group AG2R LA MONDIALE.
Starting this year, and for a three-year period, the event will officially be named "MARSEILLE-CASSIS - AG2R LA MONDIALE."
A Unique Partnership for an Iconic Race
Founded in 1979 and co-organized by SCO Ste Marguerite and the City of Cassis, Marseille-Cassis is a staple of French sporting heritage. Every last Sunday of October, it brings together 20,000 runners driven by the joy of running and universal values of self-improvement, sharing, and solidarity.
The 47th edition, taking place on Sunday, October 25, 2026, will welcome AG2R LA MONDIALE—a major player in health insurance, protection, savings, and retirement—as its title partner for the next three years.
Running: A Driver of Social Connection
Building on nearly 30 years of sporting commitment, AG2R LA MONDIALE is expanding its sponsorship strategy by supporting this iconic international event deeply rooted in Provence. Running is accessible, inclusive, and fosters solidarity, aligning perfectly with the Group’s commitment to promoting the health benefits of lifelong physical activity and strengthening social ties across all regions.
Beyond the title partnership, this agreement is built on a foundation of shared values. Both organizations view sport as a unifying force and a source of positive energy.
Fabrice Heyriès, CEO of AG2R LA MONDIALE: "We are very proud to partner with this race, which enjoys such genuine popular success while showcasing local heritage and spectacular landscapes. We are convinced that running is a major lever for health prevention and social connection. By becoming the title partner, we want to encourage all enthusiasts, regardless of age, to participate in this great sporting and convivial event."
Claude Ravel, President of SCO Ste Marguerite: "This partnership allows us to open a new chapter with a partner who shares our values regarding the promotion and accessibility of sport for all. This commitment reflects a mutual desire to strengthen the reach of Marseille-Cassis and nurture new synergies while preserving its identity and heritage in the heart of Provence."
