About this race
The Corrida des Gaziers is a night road race held in Chazelles-sur-Lyon, a town within the Loire department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The primary event is an 8 km run suitable for participants aged 15 and up, featuring a modest 60 m of elevation gain. This suggests a brief evening run rather than a demanding mountain race. The event also includes separate races for children, contributing to its character as a local running evening rather than solely an adult competition.
Les Gaziers des Monts are the organizers of this event, which features three distinct distances. These include a 1 km race for ages 6 to 10, a 3 km race for ages 11 to 14, and the main 8 km corrida for older participants. The children's races also take place on the road, with 15 m of elevation gain for the 1 km course and 30 m for the 3 km course. The race starts are scheduled throughout the evening, beginning with the youngest runners and concluding with the 8 km race under the lights.
