La Patrouille de La Dôle - A race in the heart of the Jura foothills

With its forest trails, panoramic views of Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc, and sporting village atmosphere, the Patrouille de La Dôle is a unique mountain race. Originally created as part of the Cantonale 2024, it returns this year with a new association, a new format, but the same spirit: to offer a sporting adventure open to all. An official partner of the Trophée Léman Running, this race combines high standards, discovery and conviviality.
