Abstract: Abstract The study of sport tourism in Algeria is characterized by scarcity, and the sporting event is completely nonexistent, given that sport tourism is tourism of event. Therefore, through Bejaia international half marathon, we attempt to understand the nature of the phenomenon at the level of demand and supply, and the effects related to sustainable development on the city. Despite our commitment to the methodology agreed with the international work team, direct observations were also resorted to, and the dialogs were expanded due to the scarcity of information and legal obstacles. The results revealed the existence of a gap between supply and demand, and various opportunities enjoying investment. On the other hand, there is a high focus on improving the quality of organization by organizers and municipal officials with a competent vision, in the absence of measurement indicators for the economic, social, and environmental impacts related to the sporting event.
