The mythical SaintéLyon, night trail of 72km between Saint-Etienne and Lyon, took place in the night of Saturday 05 to Sunday 06 December. The 62nd edition does not deny the popular success and the number of entrants, necessarily limited, is still as high as ever and can be counted in thousands on each event. In this case this trail has several in fact. Apart from the queen event, which can be run solo or in relays, has two more accessible courses of 44km and 22km.
I registered for the first time at the Saintsprint, the short distance of 22km ... It was a first from every point of view, at night at the front and double the distance compared to my distance practiced every Sunday. My time of 2h57 is satiating considering the 18% hills that mark the course.
The experience deserves to be lived and the satisfaction of having done so is great. The arrival at the Halle Tony Garnier, passing in front of the new Confluence Museum and the Raymond Barre Bridge, is grandiose!
