– Article is new and has sufficient prose size. Hook fact is interesting, but cited sources don't say that this is the second biggest race in France in terms of participation. Runinfinity.com compares it with Paris Marathon and flyingbluerunning.com says that "it's the second biggest marathon in France, topped only by the Paris Marathon". "All races" include cross-country, beach run, sprint, middle distance races, etc. I suggest replacing "races" with marathons. — Bill william compton^Talk 15:23, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Runinfinity does actually suggest that it is the second biggest race, rather than just marathons, but to be on the safe side, I have changed the hook to "marathon". Harrias ^talk 15:49, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
