Radiance Mutuelle Lyon Urban Trail

Lyon Urban Trail

In Lyon, the Lyon Urban Trail transforms the city into a true trail-running playground. Between the hills of Fourvière and Croix-Rousse, runners tackle stairways, climbs and high-level passages, with the two rivers that run through the capital of Gaul as a backdrop. The route passes several of the city’s iconic landmarks, including the Basilica of Fourvière, the Roman theatres, Saint-Jean Cathedral and the City Hall. But the LUT also includes more unexpected sections through parks, forts and paths that sometimes make it feel as though you have left the city altogether.
On the main course, several hundred steps add an extra challenge to the 38 km and more than 1,000 metres of elevation gain. The event also offers shorter 28, 18 and 12 km formats, as well as a hike. With its panoramic views over Lyon, numerous changes of pace and the atmosphere of a race in the heart of the city, the LUT offers another way to discover the capital of Gaul, running shoes and all.
