It is an original and healthy way to discover the most interesting places of the city in a short time. What better way to discover the culture and history of Lyon than by practicing running. In addition, the face of the city allows participants to adapt their desires to multiple itineraries: a 100% urban outing, a trail experience on the hills, or an activity within the lungs of the city: the Park of the Head Golden. Always listening to you, I adapt this experience to the desires and needs of the participants. And for the followers in the chrono, I also propose sessions on track that we could realize together.
