Ah <a href="kavval://cities/3c01bc0c-4494-4b6e-82b1-3e68c6d7344a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lyon</a>, a dazzling city with its quays, rivers, peninsula, and historic center, but also... its elevations. Indeed! 😉Embark on an <a href="kavval://tags/urban-trail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Urban Trail</a> in this stunning city located in the heart of the department of <a href="kavval://level2AdminAreas/92310033-072c-4ff4-87f3-4029313eaa2c" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rhône</a>. The event takes place in <a href="kavval://pages/de48b1c1-5235-4dc4-85f0-26062593dfb1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">March</a> 🗓️, so the weather 🌤️ might range from dull winter grey 🌫️ to a beautiful sunny spring day 🌸. In Lyon, we love sharing, friendliness, and festive gatherings, so everyone has a say here! 😊 With 4 distances to choose from, you can set off to conquer the streets of the Rhône, no matter your level 😉. Find the race that suits you between 10 km, 15 km, 25 km, and 37 km. A <a href="kavval://pages/5b49242e-6288-4e30-8649-74eb1ab8563f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">hike</a> of 10 km is also on the agenda if you want to enjoy the charm of the city of lights at a more relaxed pace ✌️. The city is the pioneer of the Urban Trail in Europe 🇪🇺, with a masterful organization, always meticulously planned 🧅 to give you an unforgettable experience! So come to Lyon and join the approximately 9,000 participants for the 17th edition of the Lyon Urban Trail 🥳.We guarantee it, whatever you decide, you'll fall completely in love with the former capital of the Gauls 😍. On the race day, Finishers 🏃‍♀️ will head towards Place Saint-Jean to start this historic trail and offer you an extraordinary touristic discovery. It’s a real immersion into <a href="https://en.visiterlyon.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lyon</a> that awaits you, with routes through the steep streets of the old town. There will be some elevation 📈! Don't be alarmed 😱, but you'll be climbing (and descending) no matter the race you choose 😂. With a start and finish in Vieux Lyon, you'll scale the famous Fourvière hill to admire the magnificent <a href="https://www.fourviere.org/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Basilica</a> of the same name ⛪️. And what about the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Croix-Rousse" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Croix Rousse hill</a> where at its summit you'll have a full-scale postcard view of the city 😍. Fans of panoramic views, prepare to be thrilled! 🔭Your main challenge on the LUT will be tackling the trails, bridges, and especially the stairs of Lyon 🔥. You will face no less than 6,000 steps on the 37 km! 😱 We hope you're not a "bambane", a lazy man in Lyon's slang 🦥. Between the roads and the cobblestones of the city, you'll run along and cross the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sa%C3%B4ne" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Saône</a>, one of the two rivers running through the city 💦. This Urban Trail is filled with surprises 🎁 and unusual paths past landmarks listed in the UNESCO World Heritage 🗽. Notably, crossing the LUGDUNUM - Museum and Roman Theatres, passing by iconic squares, and through numerous <a href="kavval://tags/public-parc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">public parks</a> including Bois de la Caille 🌳 for the 25 km and 37 km, which contrast with Lyon's urban landscape 🏙️. It’s an opportunity to reclaim the city from a new perspective. As the event's slogan perfectly states: "The city as you've never seen it." Your return to Vieux Lyon to cross the finish line 🏁 will be met with thunderous applause from the locals 👏. And spectators will be out in force, remember you're in the third-largest city in France 🥉.Once you've crossed the line, take the time to explore the Lyon region and its surroundings. Visit Vieux Lyon with its rich architectural heritage full of omega-3 ⛪️. Enjoy a cultural outing at the <a href="https://www.mba-lyon.fr/fr" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lyon Museum of Fine Arts</a>, one of Europe's most significant 🖼️. Also, add to your to-do list the <a href="https://www.museedesconfluences.fr/en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Musée des Confluences of Natural History and Societies</a> with its unique modern architecture 🏺. And if after all that you feel peckish, <a href="https://lesbouchonslyonnais.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lyon's bouchons</a> will gladly help you recharge your energy 💪. On the menu, you can try andouillette, pike quenelles, or even <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervelle_de_canut" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">cervelle de canut</a>, which you can pair with a fine wine from the <a href="https://www.vins-rhone.com/en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Côtes-du-Rhône</a>, to be consumed in moderation! 🍷Now that we've whetted your appetite 😋, we can't wait to welcome you to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lugdunum" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lugdunum</a> for the start of this trail in the city of lights 💡.
