Running fans will not miss this urban trail that allows you to visit some of the city's attractions while practicing your favorite sport. 12.6 km long, this race starts at the town hall and ends at Place de la Réunion, but to get there, you'll have to suffer a little! The route offers streets, forests and paths. Brunstatt's formidable staircases are only the appetizer as we wait for the long climb into the woods that leads us to a great viewpoint that we barely have time to enjoy. Because the terrible rise of rue Ambroise-Paré and its 14% slope awaits us! Then we go down and the reward is at the end!
