Rendez-vous sportif incontournable, le marathon Comar de la ville de Tunis s'est depuis des années imposé comme un événement annuel majeur qui draine des milliers d'athlètes, amateurs et professionnels, tunisiens et étrangers venus des quatre coins du monde en vue de participer aux trois courses épinglées au programme, à savoir : le Marathon, le semi-Marathon et la course pour tous. Pour l'édition de cette année, la 34e, elle se déroulera demain avec trois courses à la clé, soit le traditionnel marathon sur 42,195 kilomètres, le semi-marathon sur 21,1 kilomètres et la course pour tous. Cette dernière est un peu particulière puisqu'elle renforce la dimension populaire de l'événement. Inscrit dans le calendrier international de l'Association internationale des fédérations d'athlétisme, le Marathon de la Comar est désormais sur un pied d'égalité que les marathons de Tokyo, Londres, et Boston. La joute tunisienne joue donc «dans la cour des grands» comme on dit. Ce faisant et outre l'organisation toujours pointue de cet événement, l'édition de cette année est marquée par l'attribution du «label bronze» au marathon de la Comar. En clair, la course est maintenant inscrite dans le calendrier international de l'Association internationale des fédérations d'athlétisme (Iaaf). Le grand jeu Sur ce, au-delà de l'attribution de ce label, c'est la promotion de l'image de marque du pays et du tourisme tunisien qui en sortent grandis. Cette année, plus de 7.000 participants sont attendus. Volet organisation, si la «Course pour tous» et le «Marathon kids» sont toujours gratuits, il n'en est plus de même pour le marathon et le semi-marathon. Cependant, le prix set loin d'être prohibitif, ne dépassant pas les 10 dinars. Quant aux fonds collectés, ils serviront au financement d'œuvres sociales. Enfin, vu l'engouement actuel pour cet événement et la participation d'athlètes réputés, rien n'a été laissé au hasard avec la présence de médecins, d'ambulances, de drones et de stands d'animation.
