New for the 27th edition of La Comblorane
This weekend will take place the 27th edition of La Comblorane, an event dedicated to trail running with timed courses of 7, 25 and 42 km, a canicross, races for children and an obstacle course for families. This year, an evening of meetings with the combloran athletes as well as a warm-up morning in their company will complete the program.
This is the unmissable event at the start of the season in Combloux. A weekend entirely dedicated to trail running, with varied routes for all ages and all levels. Beyond the sporting challenge, it is above all the breathtaking landscapes and the friendly atmosphere that make La Comblorane a success every year. Some races are also almost sold out a few days before the event.
Some new features should be noted this year, starting with the evolution of the XL format which goes from 38 to 42 km and therefore becomes a maratrail with the Grand Croisse-Baulet as its highest point, the emblematic summit of the Aravis range. This year, athletes from the Combloux athlete center will also be honored through two highlights: an evening of meetings this Friday, and a community run on Saturday morning to get in shape before the big start.
