Well, unsurprisingly, you won't encounter any bears on this Teddy Bear Trail. On the other hand, you will encounter hundreds of charming runners and hikers, gathered around a great cause, with the added bonus of sunshine and maybe even a few cicadas singing. So, are you joining the movement?
What you'll find there:
• 3 trails and a hike from 9 km to 32 km to delight all levels, all with delicious names. No hard feelings;
• Well-stocked refreshment stations to keep you going;
• Tracks that change every year: a unique experience with each edition!
Course focus:
Welcome to Montjoyer and Réauville, charming towns in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. If you're new to the region, expect to come back bilingual in French and Provençal, because the Trail des Nounours immerses you in the atmosphere and typical architecture of the region. Small light-colored stone houses, narrow streets, and characterful churches, you won't be disappointed with the ride.
What's more, here, every kilometer counts. Literally: €1 per kilometer run is donated to the association supported by the organization. It motivates you to extend the distance!
3 (super) reasons to participate:
• With a name like that, the question is rather: how NOT to participate?
• All registration fees are donated to the association "Enfants Cancers Santé" to support research against pediatric cancer. In 2024, this commitment has resulted in a donation of €5,040 to the association.
• Refreshments and BBQ for everyone planned after the race. For the recovery 👀!
