For the past ten years, this race in the middle of nature has been a great success for running enthusiasts. Three courses are offered: 12 km (+ 450 m of ascent), 23 km (+ 1 140 m of ascent) and 37 km (+ 1 880 m of ascent), as well as a 13 km hike/nordic walk without classification. Starting from Sauxillanges, they pass through the communes of Saint-Quentin-sur-Sauxillanges, Saint-Étienne-sur-Usson and Saint-Jean-en-Val. This is a unique opportunity to run while enjoying magnificent views of the Sancy massif and the Puy-de-Dôme.

For more than sixty years, the Volvic cross-country race has brought together runners from all walks of life, of all ages and from many countries. The different editions attract more than 1 500 registered runners. Organized by the Stade Clermontois Athlétisme, the cross-country race starts and finishes on the site of the Volvic spring. It brings together three very different courses, from the short to the long loop. This last one has a strong difference in level! Around the race, the event offers a relay race for families, initiations to Nordic walking, animations for children, and the cross-country fitness and health village.
