In the month of June, head to Bressolles, a small town in the south of 'Ain, in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes 🏔️. The Line Association is organizing nothing less than its 10th edition of committed racing for the benefit of sick children and those with disabilities 👧. Multiple events are offered: children's courses, hiking routes, and running courses 🏃. Regardless of your physical level, you can put your legs to work for those who need it most 😉. In addition, our favorite city dwellers won't feel out of place since the town is only about forty minutes from the capital of the Gauls 🚗. For that matter, if you want to make the physical challenge even tougher, don't hesitate to get there on 2 wheels 😈. Easily accessible and marked by solidarity, The Bressol’line is the race you need at the start of summer ☀️.

Halfway between running and conviviality, it's the regional event not to miss 😎. Competitors will find their place with 4 timed events in running and hiking 🥾. Those who came ready to compete will find their happiness on the 20 km trail. Starting from the Bressolles multipurpose hall, you'll embark on an adventure of over 2 hours (on average) and some 248 mD+ 📈. In short, enough elevation to make your legs burn, but not too much to prevent you from completing the race 💪. In the month of June, you will be a finisher, that's for sure 🏆. Afterwards, a 10 km and a 12 km run are offered to you. With routes that are barely paved and very wooded 🌳, you'll have the opportunity to alternate between intense effort and sprinkled stimulus. If you're into active walking and performance searching, line up for the 12 km hike. This timed course allows you to compete without the obligation to start at the pace of an enraged jaguar 🐆. Lastly, for children and adults looking for a good time, there's the option of the 8 km walk or the adorable "Randolinette." Untimed, these two events allow you to chat 🗣️, have a snack, and even take a nap on the road if you feel like it 🥱. No one will blame you for arriving last since there are no rankings 🏁. Moreover, so you can organize yourself according to your schedule, the start of the "Randolinette" can be taken between 9:30 AM and 10:15 AM ⏰. A race where everyone starts whenever they want is quite colorful 🎨.

But more than the sports courses, what truly makes The Bressol'Line vibrate and creates this unique atmosphere, is its deeply human DNA 🧬. The Line Association initiates a dynamic of solidarity, centered around sharing and benevolence 💖. The presence of "extraordinary" children and their caregivers also makes your commitment and the core activity of the organization more tangible 🎯. You'll see, it's all this positive energy that will boost you at the refreshments! ⚡️

Once the sport, but also the celebration 🥳, cocktails, entertainment, surprises 🎁, and music are behind you, take a breath and extend your regional discoveries 🌿. Around Bressolles, you'll find the Parc des Oiseaux in Villars-les-Dombes 🦜. An unusual and fun outing to enjoy with family or friends. You'll be amazed by the beauty of the 250 species present on site 🤩. Also take advantage of the Bressane countryside and explore the various forest trails before heading home 🎒. If you're coming from far away (like Bordeaux, Rennes or the Listenbourg 🌍), a bit of urban discovery won't hurt. Head to Lyon and its many wonders to continue your stay 🚶‍♂️. On the agenda: start the morning gently with a walk in the Parc de la Tête d’Or and its Animal Zoo 🦒. Then take the subway (or the tram 🚊, you have the choice) to head to the Old Lyon and discover in turn the Saint-Jean Cathedral 🏛️, the old cobbled streets, and the discrete traboules that add charm to this district 🏘️. If you still have some energy, you can also venture to Croix Rousse or Fourvière for its view over the entire city 🏙️. You'll feel like those birds you previously observed at Villars-les-Dombes, with a wide-angle view of everything happening below 👁️. To end the day beautifully, what better than a snack to share on the banks of the Rhône (or the Saône if you prefer intimacy 🥷), with a lovely sunset in the background? 🌅

Well, regarding the race and the surroundings, we've already given you a good summary ✍️. Next, it's up to you to add your line to the story 📖.
