The event in a few words

Looking for a race bib, are we… 👀

We've got you spotted, admit it 🤫. You swore “this time, it's my last”, then you found yourself on Finishers “just to take a look” 🤨. And just like that, you're sucked into the vortex of … oh look, a trail not far from home👀. Well, now that you're here, we might as well tell you the truth: your next adventure in June is The Cernaysiennes Strides 🏃, near Paris.

Farewell to honking, stress, and the Paris Metro 🚇. Cernay-la-Ville is the detox cure your city soul desperately needs 🌳. Just 1 hour from Paris, in the Yvelines, you're here for the Cernaysiennes Strides 🙌. On the agenda: 10 or 20 km of greenery and freshness for the benefit of your nervous system 🧠. The start takes place in the charming village of Cernay-la-Ville, and you venture into what the Île-de-France offers at its finest: the Abbey Pond, the Wood of the Five Hundred Acres, the Boisseau Wood, and the Ru de Vaux that winds alongside you almost all along your route 🐍. One thing's for sure: between the June light and the forest trails, you're in for a refreshing trail experience (more than you will breathe…💨). And because the organizers are thoughtful (and they know you 😍), there's a hearty final refreshment very robust 💪. After all, isn't that what you deserve? 🏆

Once you've got the medal around your neck, don't hit the road too quickly: there's so much here to prolong your pleasure 🤤. Nearby, you have Versailles, its enormous palace 🏰, its gardens, and basins ⛲️. A few kilometers away, Rambouillet welcomes you with its vast forest, perfect for a recovery walk 🧘. And if you want a medieval break worthy of a movie (we're thinking of the visitors 🛡️), head to Chevreuse and its Château de la Madeleine, perched high ⬆️. And most importantly, how could you leave without exploring the Regional Natural Park of the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse? This jewel of nature is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year! 🎉 It's a not-so-useful piece of information we just felt like sharing with you 😂. 

So here you are, thinking “just to look,” and now you're tempted…🤷‍♀️

4 reasons to join this race

Accessible distances 🙌
The Cernaysiennes Strides offers two courses: a 10 km or 20 km trail. This means you have twice the chances of finishing your run! 😉 If you don't feel like committing to 20 km, you can always go for the 10 kilometers (in chill mode or rocket mode, your choice 🚀).
For a getaway 1 hour from Paris 📍
Cernay-la-ville is just an hour's drive from Paris. Signing up for this trail is the best way to take a breather away from the city 🏙️. And let's be honest, registering for a race is the best excuse for a relaxing weekend away from home 🙃.
Because it's in June after all! 🌞
If there's one reason to sign up, it's for the summer sun that reclaims its rights ✅. No matter the distance you choose to run, you'll get a boost of vitamin D (you need it, you're looking pale ⚪️).
Explore the surroundings 📸
After your race, we STRONGLY advise you to stay around Cernay-la-ville 😍. It's a stone's throw from the Palace of Versailles, the Rambouillet forest, or enjoying Chevreuse and its Château de la Madeleine 🏰. You can also indulge in local specialties like Yolin, Saint-Germain purée, Nanterre brioche, or a Noyau de Poissy if your stomach can handle it 😨.
