Meeting Herculis
A world athletics legend born in the Principality
In September 1987, Monaco hosted its first major international athletics event. At the time, the Meeting Herculis already featured iconic events such as the 100-meter dash and the pole vault. But it was in 1989 that the meeting truly became a legend, hosting the world final of the IAAF Mobil Grand Prix. Since then, the Stade Louis II, located in the Fontivieille district, has become one of the world's top athletics venues.
A pillar of the Diamond League
A member of the prestigious Wanda Diamond League since its creation in 2010, the Meeting Herculis is now recognized as one of the world's top meetings. It has been voted best international meeting on seven occasions and has broken no fewer than nine world records, a rare feat in this highly competitive circuit.
Why attend the Meeting Herculis?
The event takes place every year in July, in a spectacular atmosphere. The proximity of the grandstands to the track means total immersion, up close and personal with the biggest names in world athletics. It's also a unique opportunity to see some of the Principality's residents, some of whom live in Monaco's most exclusive neighborhoods, such as avenue Princesse Grace in Larvotto, or around the Carré d'Or, just a few minutes from the stadium.
An asset to Monaco's quality of life
The success of the Meeting Herculis is a perfect illustration of Monaco's ability to combine top-level sport, elegance and safety. This cultural and sporting dynamism contributes to the attractiveness of the local real estate market, particularly in the neighborhoods near Fontvieille such as Port Hercule and Condamine, which are highly prized for their quality of life and proximity to major events.
Living in Monaco: between sporting achievements and the art of living
Whether you're a sports fan or simply interested in Monaco's international reputation, attending the Meeting Herculis is also a chance to discover a lifestyle where prestige, modernity and excellence go hand in hand.
