Trail de l'ours

Two atmospheres, one single playground. The Trail de l'Ours is the kind of event that takes you from broad daylight to pitch darkness without changing races… but clearly not sensations. If you're looking for a challenge that plays with contrasts, you've just landed in the right place.

What you'll find on site:

• A daytime start on a breathtaking course… before switching to night mode on the second half. Headlamp mandatory, lucidity advised;
• A team of passionate people taking great care of you, ready to welcome you like a true little bear cub;
• Food trucks and music at the finish line to extend the effort… and soothe the thighs.

Course focus:

Here, you don't just come to run, you come to rediscover. This year, the routes take on a new face: everything is reversed. What you thought you knew becomes new terrain, where yesterday's descents turn into today's climbs. A simple way to remind you that nothing is ever taken for granted.

On the organisational side, you're semi-self-sufficient: it's up to you to bring your cup for the aid stations. On the longer formats (20 km), two aid stations await you along the way. On the 10 km, one mid-course aid station will give you a boost. And at the finish line, everyone gathers around a well-deserved aid station with soup and drinks to relive the race.

3 (good) reasons to take part:

• Running in the Jura, and getting a visual slap at every bend;
• Living a two-sided experience: bright by day, wild by night;
• Discovering courses in reversed mirror mode, to suffer differently and never run the same race twice.
