Le Printemps d'Ozon Courir 2027

Haven't found the right trail to start your season yet? 🗓️ We've found the perfect event for you, the one where you can dare to take flight 🪽, as early as March! 🌺 To do so, head to Le Printemps d'Ozon Courir in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, more specifically in the Rhône department 🌲. Your adventure will begin in Saint-Symphorien-d'Ozon 🧭, and take you through the paths and undergrowth 🪵 of a preserved nature 🍃, which will surely win your trail runner's heart 😍.

For the 32nd edition of the event 🎂, several races will be offered 🤓: two trails, a nature race, a charity race and a course for kids! 🧒 For experts of trails with elevation gain that will make your calves cramp 🦵, a long trail, the "Jurassic Trail" of 42 km, is organized. A little bird tells us 🦻 that you'll even follow in the footsteps of the legendary "Jurassic Park"! 🦖 Don't worry, there are no dinosaurs on the horizon, but there are steep climbs in the mud 😬. You'll have to use ropes to haul yourself to the top 📈 ... Or hold on to them 🪢 so you don't slide down the descent on your backside! 😅 The second course, a short trail, the "Ozon Trail", is this time more accessible (you can dare to try it without worry), at 25 km. It features a varied course, but also some nice climbs ⬆️. The small towns 🏘️ of Saint-Symphorien-d'Ozon, Marennes and Simandres, nestled between the Monts du Pilat and the Monts du Lyonnais ⛰️, can only offer you a most ideal running ground ✨ to have fun! 🤪 Moreover, for newcomers to the discipline 👶, or those who want to beat their time ⏱️ over 12 km, a 12 km nature race has been created 😌. This event can also be your new argument to convince your family, colleagues, or friends 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 to lace up their sneakers 👟 and come try the experience by your side! 😉 If you want to do a good deed that day, that's also possible. For this edition a 5 km has been created to benefit the association "Une Lame pour Courir"! 🫶 In addition, the POZ is one of the 11 trails of the Challenge Athlé Nature Rhône and prize money is up for grabs for the top three in the overall ranking 🤑. Kids won't be an excuse not to come to the event, since they will have their own race 🧒.

Although we can't tell you more about the courses, as they will remain secret 🤫 until race day, we can still give you a foretaste of the atmosphere that awaits you! 🥳 Le Printemps d'Ozon Courir is a family-friendly and convivial 🤗 event where the goal is to combine sport and relaxation 😎. Moreover, a warm-up with music 🎶 will motivate you 💪 before your race, and there will be food trucks 🌭 to refuel you afterwards! In addition, the aid stations will delight every stomach 😋 and give you the chance to discover local products! 👨‍🌾 Speaking of local, if your legs are still up for it 🙃, you can go for a stroll 🚶 in the Jardins du Louvre 🖼️ or the medieval Henry alley! 🤴 You'd almost think you were lost in the capital 🤔.

So it's time to give yourself a break ⏯️ in your training with the POZ 🏃 (Le Printemps d'Ozon Courir), isn't it? 😜
