Stations & transport near the venue
Kourou is a small town next to the Guiana Space Centre with no metro, tram,
or transit card system of any kind - just a sparse local bus line not oriented toward visitors.
Foreign runners typically fly into Cayenne (about 60km away) and rent a car or arrange a taxi/shuttle to Kourou, since there is no rail link between the two.
This is a car-required destination, not a transit-card city.
