Amiens

The event in a few words

Oh Amiens! The capital of Picardy, how can one not fall for the charm of the north, especially with cities like this! 🤩 This city, in addition, is delighted to host the second edition of the Amiens Urban Trail ! And this time, they've decided to create an event for everyone: seasoned runners, beginners, walkers! Be cautious ⚠️, it's important to remember that the winter temperatures can be quite chilly ❄️ (perhaps it's a way to preserve the beauty of the place, who knows? 🥰). So don't forget your essential pack: thermal shirt / jacket / hat / gloves! 🧤 Stay fit for the run, and also to explore the city afterward! Just because the atmosphere is going to be sizzling doesn't mean you should start shedding layers! 😜

The course will remain secret until further notice! 🤫 But knowing the allure of Amiens, you won't be disappointed. Speaking of which, do you know all there is to discover there? "The little Venice of the North" 🛶 has nothing to envy from other French cities 😌. It surpasses everyone with its unmissable heritage, highly praised by UNESCO 🌎: the "City of Art and History" label has been awarded to Amiens since 1992 for highlighting its heritage🏅. Leading the way is the magnificent Notre-Dame Cathedral ⛪, with its stunning sculpted decor and large stained glass windows... A perfect representation of Gothic art! At 112 meters tall, it is the largest medieval cathedral in the world! 😲 Its volume is twice as large as Notre-Dame de Paris. One can sense the Parisians' jealousy after reading this! 😬 But come on! It's time to see what northern wonders have to offer 🤝.

Moreover, it's not the only gem in town! 💎 Its neighborhoods are also very well-known 🏘️, especially as they are divided by numerous canals 🌊. The rustic charm of Amiens knows how to capture the hearts of its visitors ❤️. The Saint-Leu district is one of the most famous places. Originating in the Middle Ages, it is now "the place to be" for a drink 🍹 on a terrace and to enjoy the unique atmosphere ✨. While you're there, take a look 👀 at the Place du Don, home to the "gable houses", the oldest in the city 🌆. 

Ultimately, it's the ideal spot to sign up for a new challenge! That's why we have a feeling you'll be at the Urban Trail of Amiens! 😍

4 reasons to join this race

A SURPRISE Route 🎉
No secrets will be revealed today! The Urban Trail of Amiens has planned everything, and the course is designed to be a surprise! 🎁 The 9 km distance can be enjoyed either in a fun way or as a competitive run, but in any case, it's a mystery course 💭. Let yourself be carried away on an adventure that will surely lead you to discover exceptional places! Given the city's rich cultural reputation, it's an experience not to be missed! 😉
A Heritage Gem n°1️⃣
The city of Amiens is famous for its abundance of historical treasures. It boasts a wide range of UNESCO World Heritage inscriptions, making it the leading French city with so many! If you're in search of cultural discoveries, you’re in for a treat! We highly recommend taking the time to admire the magnificent Notre-Dame Cathedral during your stay (yes, there's more than one Notre-Dame in France 😛), a masterpiece of Gothic art. While exploring, you'll also be enchanted by the picturesque neighborhoods and the numerous canals that crisscross the city 🌟. What more could you ask for? 🤷‍♀️
The Little Venice of the North 🛶
How could we talk about Amiens without mentioning its famous 300-hectare floating gardens? 🌿 The 'hortillonnages' have earned it the nickname 'Little Venice of the North'. These former agricultural lands were used for growing leeks, cabbages 🥬, and carrots 🥕. The few locals who still cultivate this land sell their produce every Saturday in the Saint-Leu neighborhood. You can also enjoy a boat ride through the waterways. It's a great way to relax after the race! 😎
An Unmissable Atmosphere 🎷
Yes, the North knows how to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for its guests! 💝 For the event, there will be 6 musical bands accompanying you with tunes throughout the run 🎶. If you're more of a walker than a runner, we want to see you bust out your best dance moves and bring a lively atmosphere to the track! 🕺
