In the footsteps of great champions in Bas-Rhin

The famous athlete Sébastien Spehler, a local boy and true trail champion, honed his extraordinary endurance on these steep slopes 🥇. If he can glide over rocky trails at a crazy speed, you can joyfully jog to the finish line 🐢. Running a race in Bas-Rhin is also a beautiful journey through time ⏳. You might pass at the foot of the majestic Château du Haut-Kœnigsbourg, which greatly inspired Peter Jackson's visual universe for the fortress of Minas Tirith in movies 🎬. The superb prefecture, Strasbourg, watches from afar with its ancient cathedral and fascinating astronomical clock 🕰️.

After the effort, the famous Alsatian comfort

Let's talk a bit about serious matters, like the essential post-race recovery 🍺. Forget your bland energy drink and imagine the lovely local reward 🥨. A generous choucroute, a crispy Flammekueche or a hearty warm baeckeoffe will surely await you near the podiums 🤤. Even Sébastien Loeb, the nine-time world rally champion from Haguenau, knows that the machine needs excellent fuel 🏎️. You might even greet the beautiful white storks in flight to digest it all 🕊️.
