It was my first trail and it was a real eye-opener.

Dreamlike scenery, top volunteers and excellent organisation

Urban Xtrail: 50 km, +2000 m D+ / -2000 m D-, over 50% on roads

A demanding and spectacular route, with breathtaking views of the lake from the magnificent Lavaux vineyards. A real treat for fans of urban trail running and sporting challenges!

However, every year, the same problem persiste: the signposting leaves something to be desired. Despite repeated feedback from runners, the organisers seem to have ignored the importance of placing volunteers at strategic points, notably at the separations between the 34km and 50km courses, and in the forest near Mont Pèlerin. The result was that, once again this year, around twenty runners found themselves lost, marring the experience of many participants.

What's more, the GPS points provided don't correspond either to the actual route or to the signposting, which sometimes leads to dead ends. It's frustrating, especially on such a demanding event.

I really hope that improvements will be made for the 10th edition. Otherwise, unfortunately, this will probably be my last participation in this event, which has so much potential.

A magnificent race with a varied route, the viewpoints are just splendid. However, be careful about hydration in hot weather, as the paths through the vineyards are treacherous! Not to be missed if you want to enjoy yourself.

The 10K is a beautiful way to take in the sumptuous scenery between vineyards and villages on the Leman and the mountains! It's a bit of a climb though!

First experience in 2024! I loved it!

Especially the crossroads between the 20 km and the longer ones! The exchanges and encouragement from the other runners!

A varied and unique landscape!

I recommend it!

A race with splendid views of the lake and the Lavaux vineyards.

A variety of terrains accessible to all.

The volunteers and organisation were top-notch.
