Cross de Motz is an exciting and vibrant race that draws runners of all ages to the Espace Sport et Nature du Fier-Motz, offering diverse courses through natural terrain. The setting features lush grasslands, dense forests, gravel paths, paved roads, and muddy trails, providing a challenging yet scenic experience. The event caters to participants from 3 years old up with various distances available: 0.25 km, 0.5 km, 1 km, 2 km, 5 km, 7 km, and 12 km. Athletes can compete in multiple categories either individually or as part of relay teams. Solo races include a challenging 12-kilometer course open to all runners followed by the more manageable yet competitive 7-kilometer race for those looking for a shorter but equally engaging challenge. For team enthusiasts, there are relays with options for both two-person and four-person teams covering distances of 8 km and 10 km respectively. Youth categories feature races tailored specifically to young athletes aged between 9 and 16 years old, while the Kids category includes fun short-distance runs designed for children as young as three. These shorter courses range from a playful 250 meters up to an invigorating 1 kilometer run, ensuring every child has their chance to shine. The event schedule kicks off on Saturday with setup and final course inspections, leading into the main day of action on Sunday. From early morning registration at 7:30 AM through to race start times throughout the day, there's ample opportunity for participants to warm up and prepare. Each solo and relay category begins promptly after a brief pre-race meeting, ensuring everyone is ready for their respective challenges. Post-race ceremonies follow each event with awards given out immediately afterward, making sure no one misses out on celebrating individual achievements or team successes. Cross de Motz promises an engaging day filled with competitive spirit, family fun, and scenic routes that make it a must-attend race in the region's calendar.
