About this race
Urban Trail Oyonnax guides participants through Oyonnax streets and adjacent woodlands, with segments completed in daylight and after dark. This event takes place near mid-October in Oyonnax, located in the Ain department of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France. It functions as a charity urban trail supporting Octobre Rose, offering 9 km and 18 km races, alongside an 8 km hike for walkers.
The 18 km race covers approximately 17.18 km with an elevation gain of about 644 meters, requiring genuine trail running ability over pure road speed. The 9 km race presents a similar blend of urban and forest terrain in a more condensed format. An 8 km route is available for walkers, and a semi-nighttime Kids Run caters to younger participants, extending the event's reach beyond adult competitors. The event's core appeal lies in its combination of town passages, forest trails, climbing, and night running within a single local charity event.
