About this race
Sous la Lune de Saint Jean is a small February running event held at the football stadium in Saint-Jean-de-Niost, a village in eastern France. The primary option is a 10 km nature race, complemented by a 5 km walk on the same schedule for those seeking an outing without competition. Its name translates to “Under the Moon of Saint Jean,” and the listed evening start time provides a nighttime atmosphere, distinguishing it from a typical Sunday-morning road race.
Participants begin and end at the Stade de foot de Saint-Jean-de-Niost, with the GPS address listed as 642 chemin de Sous Cras. Course details are straightforward: 10 km for runners and 5 km for walkers, organized by the local Courir Nature Saint Jean de Niost club. Following the event, attendees can remain on-site for refreshments, including onion soup, which suits the winter season more than the common post-race snack offerings. Previous results and photo archives are available, allowing regular participants to compare their performances across different editions.
