I’ve picked for you 3 very different races : 3 continents and 3 totally different atmospheres.
La Saintélyon
France – Sunday December 5th
About 10,000 runners will leave Saint-Etienne at midnight to reach Lyon after 69 km of a hard and cold race. The course is half trail, half road. If 69 km is too long for you, la Saintexpress offers a similar experience in 44 km. Get your headlights ready! The race has been going on for 57 years.

Coast to Kosciuszko
Australia – Friday December 10th
The race leads the runners from Twofold Bay, on the coast of New South Wales to the Kosciuszko summit, the highest mountain in Australia, along a 240 km course.
The final climb to the submit (2228 m) isn’t particularly difficult, but it comes at the end of a long journey
