The event in a few words
Ready to reset your clock and challenge yourself on the natural trails of Switzerland? 🕰️ The Doubs Race at Les Brenets, a former commune in the Canton of Neuchâtel and the Mountains region, is ready to welcome you on its scenic paths! ⛰️ What better way to explore this picturesque area than a trail run in June, discovering the forests and lakes alongside the Doubs River? 🏞️ Don’t worry, you won’t be running all 453 km of this French-Swiss river 😝.
On the agenda, you have two trails: the "Mini Doubs" at 11 km with 460 m elevation gain and the "Maxi Doubs" at 21 km with 900 m elevation gain 🏃➡️. Good news for walkers, both routes are also open to Nordic walking! 🚶♂️➡️ But The Doubs Race is also about celebrating great values 🫶, like family: 4 children's races ranging from 0.5 to 3 km invite the little ones to join the fun! 🥳 Indeed, there's no such thing as being too young to lace up your sneakers 👟. In addition to inviting everyone to run, the organizers are committed to respecting nature's time zone 🍃 : no cups, no packages, it’s a truly eco-friendly race! ♻️ And throughout your run, you’ll understand why preserving this area is so important: Lac des Brenets or Lac de Moron, both will leave you speechless! 😍
After performing on these tracks surrounded by breathtaking landscapes🌲, why not extend your adventure? 👀 Explore the watchmaking city of La Chaux-de-Fonds, a UNESCO World Heritage site, with its fascinating watch museums ⏰. Need a pick-me-up? The Vallée de Joux is just a hop away 🚗. Enjoy the lake (yes, another one 😅) for a relaxing moment or visit the Léman Museum to learn more about this beautiful region 🤩. If you’re craving more outdoor fun, the Lac de Neuchâtel is perfect for a family picnic 🍽️. Nature lovers (we know you're still craving a bit more) shouldn't miss the Creux du Van: this natural amphitheater is a breathtaking spectacle! 🤯
No doubs (doubts) about it, this race is perfect for you! 😉
