The event in a few words
If you're a greyhound dreaming of stretching your legs, this race is your destiny! 🏎️ Carefully organized by the students of the veterinary school of Marcy-l’Étoile in April, the Vét'o Trail offers you a unique experience in the stunning Monts-du-Lyonnais in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. 🌄 You'll be able to explore breathtaking mountain landscapes 🤩.
Get out your sneakers (and the leash), the Vét'o Trail is just waiting for you! 😍 It's a classic walk but in cardio version ❤️🔥. With its 3 distances : 6, 12 and 20 km, this challenge is suitable for everyone 🤝. They're 100% on theme with the race names, you'll see! 🤣 For a health stroll, choose the "Chihuahua ": 6 km and 100 mD+, perfect for those who prefer to wander and admire every blade of grass 🌱. Next, the event invites you to try the "Border Collie": 12 km and 350 mD+. There, it starts to pull, and not just your tongue hanging out! 🐶 And for the tireless, the trail "Saint Bernard" of 20 km and 700 mD+ is the right choice. It's a technical course, ideal for testing your limits 💖. Spoiler : it's the runners who finish the race on all fours 🤣. On your route, whether for the 6,12 or 20 km you'll cross fields 🌾, shaded trails and even roads, with a bonus climb to the Col de la Croix de Ban. Once up there, the view over Lyon will make you forget all the climbs 💭.
The Vét'o Trail is not just a race: it's a true celebration of the canine world 🐕🦺. Outside the races, take advantage of the sponsors' village to discover the latest trends for your dog, or marvel at the agility competition, where the doggos compete in talent🏅. After the race, pop over to Lyon! You can stroll along the Rhône riverbanks or relax by the lake in the Parc de la Tête d’Or. As for gastronomy, don't miss the Lyon quenelles or the praline tart, which will fill you with energy after this challenge 🩷.
Whether you're a sprinter or a Sunday stroller, the Vét’o Trail is the perfect opportunity to strengthen the bond with your dog, or make you want to get one...🤷♀️
