The Asics SaintéLyon, established in 1952, stands as one of France's most historic and revered trail races. Scheduled for the night of November 29 to 30, 2025, this event challenges runners with a mix of trails and roads, covering distances from 13 km to 164 km. The main event, the 78 km SaintéLyon, takes participants through the Monts du Lyonnais, facing potential snow, mud, and freezing temperatures. For those seeking an even greater challenge, the 164 km LyonSaintéLyon offers a round-trip course between the two cities. With over 17,000 participants annually, the race also features shorter distances like the 13 km SaintéTic and 24 km SaintéSprint, as well as relay options for teams of 2 to 4 runners. The event culminates at Lyon's Halle Tony Garnier, where finishers are greeted with a festive atmosphere and well-deserved accolades.
