French media covering Lyon meet — and admission is free!

A French story contradicts U.S. notice about guest credentials being needed at Lyon venues. Grandlyon.com reports: “For the first time, France hosts the World Championship of athletics veterans (WMAC) . The competition takes place in the Lyon Metropole 4 to 16 August 2015. Run attend and encourage athletes – it’s free!” And to stress the point of free admission, the report adds: “For the public, the entrance in stadiums is free! Do not miss the races of the half marathon and the marathon, Sunday, Aug. 16 at Parilly Park. With top performance – to be the envy of joggers Sunday! – Veteran World Championships have something enthusiastic sports fans as curious!” (That’s a Google translation, BTW.) The local paper appears to be 20 Minutes. But national papers will likely check in as well.
