The event in a few words

Weather alert 🚨: an avalanche of sneakers is forecast in Toussieu and it's time to get Touss'O'Trail! 💨 At the end of April, in the middle of spring 🌸, the east of Lyon will become the stage for your exploits 🎭. At this time of year, the sky often hesitates between sweater and T-shirt, so slip both into your bag 🧥. Here, we don't just play extras: the Toussieu Team Trail association has cooked up a menu that will make your soles burn 👟. Forget the disaster scenarios where the hero arrives late: in Toussieu, the only drama is staying in bed 🛌 while the pack is already shouting: "Come on, everyone to the trail!" 📢.

As for the numbers, it's solid, not cinema 🍿: a 13 km (300 m D+) for those who want to play speed demons between road and trails 🏎️, and a 25 km (600 m D+) for true path devourers who aren't afraid to get their jersey dirty 👕. It's a bit like choosing between a James Bond sprint to catch a train 🚂 and a wild crossing à la The Revenant, but with a much nicer refreshment area at the finish 🍌 (promise).

But the Touss'O'Trail is also a paradise for walkers 🥾 and children! 👶 With a nature hike of 10 km (150 m D+), you can trade the stopwatch for active contemplation 👀, while the youngest set off from noon on courses suited to their age 🍭. No need to bring out the ice axes here 🏔️, the circuits remain not very technical, perfect for pushing the watts without ending up tumbling at the bottom of the descent 🪨. The course marking will be your Ariadne's thread so you don't mistakenly end up at the other end of the Rhône 🧭. The goal is for you to get an eyeful and enjoy yourself (or suffer... your choice! 🤪), not to look for your way like a tourist without GPS 🗺️. You will pass through the villages of Mions and Saint-Pierre-de-Chandieu and will have the chance to run alongside the Ozon for a refreshing moment, because if you're going to visit the Lyon suburbs, you might as well do it right! 👍

It will also be the moment to prove that your energy is more inexhaustible than an Aston Martin's fuel tank ⚡. Between woodland and asphalt, paths and singletracks, you will rediscover the simple pleasure of trail running. In Toussieu, we run, we sweat 🥵, and above all we savor every meter 👌.

Once you cross the line, you'll be in the promised land of gastronomy 🍷. Don't leave without honoring the Rosette de Lyon or a pink praline tart, a specialty that will match the color of your cheeks after the last hill 🥧. It's the mandatory happy end for your calves before heading home triumphant 🦵. So, ready for takeoff? Because in Toussieu, if you're not Touss'O'Trail, you're not in the game! 🏃‍♂️

5 reasons to join this race

Not a dull moment, from start to finish 🎺
At the Touss’O’Trail, no time to doze off: on the courses, it's constantly going up or down, so forget about long straight stretches to catch your breath ⛰️. And the atmosphere keeps the same rhythm: a warm-up before the start, a brass band, a DJ and entertainment to make Toussieu vibrate 🎶. As for the aid stations, the Touss’O’Trail has already won everyone over, enough to recharge your batteries before heading back into the attack 🍫.
The rallying cry: “Tous au Trail” 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
The Touss’O’Trail is the event that brings everyone together, from the youngest to the veterans 🐣. Between the 13 km and 25 km formats, the 10 km hike and the children's races, we apply the golden rule: in Toussieu, we're all at the trail or we're nothing 🔥. It's a celebration of sport where the only limit is your desire to have fun 🎈.
Medals for little champions in the making 🥇
In Toussieu, we don't forget the next generation: every participating child receives their own medal at the finish! 🏆 For the older ones, the top three men and top three women of each race will climb onto the podium 🥂. Stick around: without your presence, the prize won't leave Toussieu 📦.
The “zero complexes” playground 🍃
Tired of courses where you spend your time looking at your feet so you don't trip? 🦶 Here, technicality takes a back seat to make room for the pure pleasure of picking up the pace 🏃‍♂️. It's the ideal place to start trail running or work on your pace changes without risking your ankle on every descent 🎢.
An express trip to the land of the gones 🦁
Running in Toussieu means getting privileged access to Lyon's heritage without the traffic jams! 🚗 Between strides, you're a stone's throw from the famous traboules and Old Lyon to play Renaissance explorer. 🏰 It's a unique opportunity to combine your bib with a cultural immersion in one of the most cinematic cities in France, where the Lumière brothers invented it all 🎬.

A word from the organizer:

"After many years without a trail race around Toussieu, we are happy to announce the 1st edition of the ToussOTrail. The paths of Toussieu, Mions and Saint-Pierre de Chandieu are playful and you will have a great time discovering them. We can already imagine where the podiums will be decided 🤩. Part of the profits will be donated to the cardiology federation to help families and also to act on prevention. We look forward to seeing you in large numbers! Catering available on site (by reservation at registration) provided by the Comité des Fêtes (Lyon-style menu!)"

A few more words

Ready for 25 km of trail running in the suburbs of Lyon? 🦁

You will head toward Mions along the trails before coming back to Toussieu on relatively flat paths. You will join the 13 km course again before leaving it once more near the Château de Chandieu 🏰. A series of climbs will keep you awake. Yes indeed, 600 m D+ is no joke. You might even get the chance to catch a glimpse of the Château de Rajat around km 13. You will then run alongside the Ozon 💦 to get a nice breath of fresh air. You will begin the return toward Toussieu at km 17, but keep your eyes open to spot the Vieux Moulin du Gué de l'Ozon at km 20. You will rejoin the 13 km course for the last 5 km and cross the finish line after 25 km of effort 🏁. The finish-line aid station will be well deserved! 🥤
