Last year, more than 600 running enthusiasts took part in the inaugural edition of the X-Trail runorganized by the association Beaumont Triathlon. This year, the organizer expects nearly 1,000 participants for the 2nd edition of its long-distance race over rough terrain. This takes place this Sunday, January 12. The start and finish will be held at the Gilles Degenève stadium, avenue du Président Wilson in Beaumont-sur-Oisein Val-d’Oise.
Like last year, the X-Trail run will mainly take place in the magnificent Carnelle forestwhich is based on several Val-d'Oise communes: Beaumont-sur-Oise, Nointel, Noisy-sur-Oise, Asnières-sur-Oise, Viarmes and Saint-Martin-du-Tertre. On the program, two distinct events will be offered to “runners”: a race of 30 km (departure 8:30 a.m.) with 800 meters of positive altitude difference (D+), and another 15 km (9h) with 300 meters of D+.
To participate, you must register in advance.
For the longest format, the race is aimed at “to greedy for effort who wish to measure themselves against the difficulties present in the Carnelle forest“we bid at the Beaumont-sur-Oise club. For the shortest, “this course is intended for those who wish to challenge themselves while discovering part of the Carnelle forest”he adds. The winners last year had crossed the finish line in, respectively, 2 hours 11 minutes and 1 hour of time.
To participate, athletes must register in advance on the event website. The 15 km is already full… However, good news for the latecomers. Facing thecraze requests, the organizing club decided, on December 24, to open 50 additional places. As for the 30 km, the last places are available, registrations are also filling up at wisely.
