The event in a few words

Your tibias Péronnas, uh, your tibias fibulas are going to be seriously put to the test 😁.

In the month of September, we invite you to l'Ain in Ceyzériat, just minutes from Péronnas, for a festive and friendly 🫂 event. In the absence of summer warmth, you'll find the warmth of sharing and solidarity to warm your heart and freshly tanned skin 💗. The Ainbattable is a race where you'll overcome your own goals. Competition takes a back seat, everyone finishes as number Ain in their own ranking 🏅. The emphasis is on mutual help, self-improvement and personal pride 🥹. In this spirit, the event is accessible to both able-bodied athletes and those with disabilities. We share the same path and face the same obstacles ⚡️. Rest assured, even if you come alone, you'll never feel left out 😉.

For this new edition, the organizers offer you several distances, accessible to all levels 💥. 2 km, 5 km, 10 km or 18 km: you choose the difficulty of your challenge 🫵. If you are a top performer looking to break records, no problem, the 10 km course has only 100 mD+ and is mostly on tarmac 🛣️. You'll be able to spin your legs at full speed 🏃. For more experienced runners, an 18 km road race starts in the early afternoon 🌞. The few trails in the surrounding fields will break up the tarmac routine and let you discover the landscapes of eastern France 🇫🇷. More timid participants or newcomers to the discipline can align with the 2 km or 5 km 👟 courses. The elevation is almost zero, offering a first impression of what the event feels like on a festive weekend 😋. To make the event even more inclusive, the children's course of 2 km is free of charge 🤯. This way, everyone can participate, regardless of their budget 💰. Clearly, the organization is Ainbattable when it comes to inclusivity 😎.

Organized in the north of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, this race will allow you to enjoy the local peculiarities 🌅. From the renowned regional gastronomy to the magnificent natural environment, you'll return with plenty of memories (and a full stomach 🤣). For culture enthusiasts, the historic city of Bourg-en-Bresse will be an ideal rallying point, with the Royal Monastery of Brou and its impressive Gothic architecture 🏰. If you're looking to extend your weekend with a sports theme, you can also check out the calendar for the national rugby championship 🏉: the local USBPA club has been competing there for several seasons! 💜 Finally, a visit to the Dombes, with its ponds and bird park, will reconnect you with nature and serenity 🦢.

So, ready to take on the challenge? Ain, two, three, go... for the solidarity race at Ainbattable! 💪

4 reasons to join this race

Because together we are stronger 💪
These are the key phrases of the day: sharing and the power of the collective. Whenever you feel a bit down, you'll see that everyone will be there to push you forward 💨. It's even a fact established by scientists: training with others pushes us to surpass ourselves 💥.
A great way to end your season ❌
Scheduled in September, the event is perfect for ending your season gently without suffering from the summer heat 🕶️. You can participate in one last race before putting your running shoes away and enjoying the end-of-year festivities 🎅.
The Paella Party 🥘
Once your shoes are stored and your hair is washed, enjoy the post-race feeling with a unique (and delicious) moment 🍽️. A Paella Party is organized starting at 7:00 PM, allowing everyone to talk and chat without being out of breath 🥵. A race where you'll be full of energy and food, only in Ain can you find that 🤤.
A sports-filled weekend 🏀
After a great shared effort, you can enjoy the sporting culture of the region 🏟️. The nearby town of Bourg-en-Bresse, with its mere 40,000 inhabitants, boasts high-level teams in basketball and rugby. Suffice to say, sports here are almost a religion 🙏.

Message from the organizer:

"Dear participants, welcome to Ainbattable, an event like no other! Here, sport rhymes with inclusion, friendliness, and self-improvement. Whether you are a seasoned runner, an occasional walker, or just curious to share a memorable moment, you will find your place among us.

After the effort, it's time for the Paella Party, accompanied by a delicious apple pie, so we can all come together, share our achievements, and enjoy a warm moment with family or friends. Thank you for participating in this beautiful human and sporting adventure. Together, let's make this day unforgettable!"

A few more words

After starting from the Moland Path, you'll begin your run with 6 km of relatively flat and smooth terrain 🏃‍♀️. Not many gradients to declare. However, starting from km 7, things get complicated and the path gradually inclines 😎. But if you're well-trained enough, you should barely feel the uphill 😝.

At km 12, you'll brush past the village of Ramasse. Take the opportunity to catch your breath on the descent and continue on the ascent that follows, from km 14 to km 16 🫁. Once the finish line is in sight, give it everything you have left and raise your arms high, so you can be seen coming from afar and be cheered as you deserve 📣.
