Jura Marathon
Valiant Jura Marathon
The Valiant Marathon du Jura takes you to the heart of the region, between the valleys and peaks of the Jura. This event marks an important milestone, as it is the first Jura race to be partnered with the Léman Running Trophy. The course takes in a variety of routes along the Sorne and Scheulte rivers, on safe paths and roads. The competition takes place alongside the slowUp Jura, guaranteeing a friendly and festive atmosphere.
The organisation is supporting a local cause by donating CHF 5 per race number to the Club Fauteuil Roulant du Jura. To make it easier for runners to get to the event, Jura public transport is offering train travel throughout the canton on the day of the event.
