The legacy of local legends and great champions 🥇

It should be known that running races in the Grand Est have given birth to and evolved legendary athletes 🌟. It's impossible not to think of Bouabdellah Tahri, the prodigy from Metz, who thrilled all of France on the athletics tracks but also left his indelible mark on the region's roads with his airy stride 💨. He is living proof that sauerkraut and the delicious Mirabelles of Lorraine are excellent natural fuels for high-level performance 🍑. If you secretly dream of following in the footsteps of this great champion, you will need to do very intense training sessions 🥵.

The menu for your future sporting achievements in the East 🍽️

You are probably wondering if there is any trail running in nature, in the forest, mountains, or by the sea around here 🤔. Well, to find a real beach, you'll have to come back as the ocean is quite far, but you'll find plenty to tackle a terrible elevation gain by heading to the magnificent Vosges mountain range ⛰️. On the asphalt side, your next race in the Grand Est will delight fans of pure speed and an extremely festive atmosphere 🎉. The famous Reims Champagne Run, for example, allows you to finish your physical effort at the foot of the sublime cathedral where former French kings were once grandly crowned 👑.
