About the Event

Prepare for a relentless urban challenge at the 14th Ultra Boucle de la Sarra by TDR on May 22-23, 2026, where runners conquer a signature 2km loop on Lyon's historic Fourvière hill. This is not a typical city race; it's a hypnotic ascent into a green oasis within the metropolis, far from urban noise yet overlooking its breathtaking skyline. Each punishing circuit demands you master 90 meters of vertical gain, famously packing 563 stairs into every rotation to forge both mental fortitude and formidable leg strength. You will traverse the serene Parc des Hauteurs, passing through wooded slopes, hidden gardens, and panoramic belvedères that offer moments of deceptive calm between efforts. Choose your battle in a solo ultra or share the monumental task in a relay, pushing limits on a course that equally inspires contemplation and conquest. This event distills the essence of Lyon's landscape into a pure, repeating test of endurance against the clock and the climb. Become part of a unique 24-hour rhythm where personal resilience writes its own story against the iconic backdrop of La Sarra.

About Lyon

Lyon is the capital of the French administrative region of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. A city of half a million, Lyon alone is the country's third-largest city, but its metropolitan area is only second in population to Paris. Lyon is mostly known as the gastronomic epicentre of France, with one of the highest concentrations of restaurants per capita in the country. Lyon was a Roman provincial capital and thus has extensive Roman ruins. Architecture in old Lyon ranges from 12th century to modern, and is primarily influenced by its position in the Renaissance as a centre of silk production.
