Since 2010, the pretty city of Lyon has been closing some of its streets to allow runners of all levels to take part in a unique event . If the routes offering a discovery of the districts of Lyon attract a good number of runners, the aspect of competition and surpassing oneself remains a major argument. This year, the Run in Lyon will take place on October 6. NOSC invites you to discover the routes of these races and, if you feel like it, to become an ambassador of our eco-responsible brand for a few hours!
SUMMARY
The Run in Lyon, what is it?
Much more than a simple race, the Run in Lyon is above all a running festival.
Four routes have been laid out to allow athletes of all levels, amateurs and seasoned, to participate in this event. Everyone can take part in the race that best suits their physical abilities.
The 10 kilometers
To discover or rediscover the pretty city of Lyon, this race is perfect for all types of runners, whether they are experienced or totally novice. 10 kilometers of running to observe the most beautiful heritage of the capital of Gaul. With family or friends, this route begins in front of the courthouse located in Old Lyon and ends at Place Bellecour. On the way, you will pass many well-known places in the city, such as:
- the music conservatory
- the district of Croix-Rousse
- the Opera
Marathon
Intended for experienced runners, this course of more than 42 kilometers is an emblematic event. Whether it's a first or an umpteenth marathon, this race represents a real sporting objective for all lovers of runs. This unique route remains for many a wonderful memory and an opportunity to go beyond its limits:
