Run Écully
Attention all Lyon families! This event is happening in the heart of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, right in the Rhône department, just steps away from the city known as the capital of Gaul (and the Gones 🧒) 😉. The Run Écully is set to take place in early June ☀️, at the beautiful campus of the École Centrale de Lyon 🏫, complete with locker rooms, an athletics track 🏃, a wooded course 🌲, and more surprises ✨.
For the second edition of this event, the goal remains to become an essential meeting point 🗓️ for athletes of all levels in the West Lyon area 💪. You can already plan your Sunday with family for an exciting festive experience 🥳 around running, offering two race formats accessible to everyone 👨👩👧👦. A 10 km course through nature and road will take you through the green spaces of Écully and the Vallons de Bois de Serres 🌳. Its 106 hectares of forests and streams and nearly as many bird species 🦅 will dazzle you! 🤩 If you're not one to slow down to enjoy the scenery 🖼️, push yourself to the finish line 🏁 and aim to win one of the prizes awarded to the top 3 finishers, both men and women 😍. The younger ones and less experienced runners can join the 6.5 km race, an ideal distance to dip your toes into running 🤓. The Run Écully is above all a friendly event, meant to share the passion for sports 🫶 with as many people as possible and promote sports gatherings 📢 around the city of Lyon 🦁.
The Run Écully offers a unique concept that will surely win you over 😏: come for the run and stay for the fun! 🎉 After your race, enjoy various musical performances 🎵, food stands 🌭, and many other surprises 🎁, all waiting for you and your loved ones 🤗. It's the perfect opportunity to take some time for yourself and for others 🤝. Indeed, the start of the Relais des Écoliers will kick off right after! 🎊 This allows you to cheer on the kids from Écully schools 🎒, who might just be the future trail runners ⛰️ of a next edition of Run Ecully!? 🤔
