Plan SaintéLyon

Use the listed edition as your starting point. Each tool keeps imported race facts separate from the targets and assumptions you choose.

Listed edition: Nov 28, 2026 – Nov 29, 2026
Format: Fixed-Distance
Distance: 80 km
Local start time: 11:30 PM Saturday, the first of six waves 10 minutes apart (last wave 12:30 AM Sunday)
Duration / cutoff: Leave Saint-Christo-en-Jarez (km 17) by 4:00 AM, Sainte-Catherine (km 32) by 7:00 AM, Le Camp-Saint-Genou (km 46) by 9:30 AM, Soucieu-en-Jarrest (km 60) by 12:00 PM and Chaponost (km 67) by 1:30 PM Sunday; Lyon (km 82) closes at 4:00 PM on the race page and 4:30 PM in the rules
Crew and pacers: No crew help at aid stations and no pacing: being accompanied outside spectator zones breaks the semi-autonomy rule. Only elites may have one accredited helper, at Sainte-Catherine and Soucieu-en-Jarrest.
Drop bags: Solo runners can leave one bag under 10 kg at the start, carried to Lyon; the Halle Tony Garnier has changing rooms and showers. LyonSaintéLyon runners get two bags, one sent to Sainte-Catherine and one to Saint-Étienne.
