La ronde hivernale - Saulnes 2027

La Ronde hivernale is a winter team race in Saulnes, named for its conditions: runners have lined up with snow underfoot and temperatures around -4 to -3 degrees Celsius. The event has passed its 20th edition and drew 58 teams, totaling 180 runners. The format is notable: the circuit is 5 km, and teams grow as the race progresses. One runner starts, a teammate joins on the next lap, and the team finishes the final lap as a trio. The race is liked locally for its unusual relay-style setup and friendly atmosphere; Adrien Zolfo, the mayor, was present for his final edition in office.
