The Lozère cross-country championship took place in Saint-Rome-de-Tarn, in Aveyron, on Sunday January 12, 2025. The Lozère clubs joined forces with the Aveyron clubs in order to densify the pelotons and make this more competitive championship.
Lozériens and Aveyronnais were thus able to face each other before the quarter-final of the French cross-country championships, which will be organized on January 26 in Cagnac-les-Mines, near Albi. This championship will bring together the Occitanie clubs of the western zone.
The Saint-Rome-de-Tarn course presented many difficulties: hills, very steep descents, very slippery turns, profile difficulties accentuated by the frozen ground… The race lived up to its name. The Marvejols clubs – Marvejols Cross Marathon (MCM), Marvejols Athlétisme Gévaudan (MAG), Jeunesse Athlétisme Marvejolaise (JAM) – Salta Bartas de Chanac and Éveil Mendois were present for this Lozère gathering on Aveyron soil.
