The event in a few words

The Course des Bourriques is Meussia inviting you to swap the asphalt for the trails, with that little Jura touch that gets everyone on board 😉.

Here, you come to treat yourself in the heart of nature, between forest and paths that smell wonderfully of resin, all in a simple, friendly, no-fuss atmosphere 🌲.

You choose your adventure: 5 km to get started, come with a buddy, or challenge yourself without burning out, or 11 km to take your time, feast your eyes, and earn your right to the aid station like a true donkey (affectionate, promise) 🐴.

Just a stone’s throw from Meussia, you can go see the Hérisson Waterfalls, take a trip to Lake Chalain, stroll around Clairvaux-les-Lacs, or head as far as Baume-les-Messieurs for its village and postcard-perfect scenery 🧭.

After your bib, keep the good times going: a relaxed swim, a hand-in-hand walk along the water, or a drink on a terrace in Clairvaux to rehash the race while barely exaggerating your exploits 🍻.

Come for the trails, stay for the Jura: you’ll head home with legs that sting and a mind that can breathe again—and that’s a seriously good deal! ✨
