Cross de Motz

A cross-country that blends the best of two worlds! worlds away from each other! 🤪

In Savoy, in Motz, the terrain is perfect for cross country running 🏃‍♀️. Yes, cross country, the event that probably traumatized more than one during school 😅. The Motz Cross is set to turn that negative image around! So lace up your shoes because it’s going to be fast! On the trails of the Espace Sport et Nature du Fier-Motz, you can be proud after beating your new personal best 😎. But watch out for slips, November sometimes brings surprises and a bit of mud 😬. Yes, that’s the joy of running a cross: road-speed with nature’s twists like a trail run 🙃.

Although we’re used to shorter cross-country races, that isn’t the case here! ❌ You can run up to 12 km solo 🥵. Once the start gun goes off, you won’t have time to stop to enjoy a tartiflette 🤤 or buy a a piece of cheese from the nearby cooperative 😢. Don’t worry, you’ll be so fast there will still be time after your race! 😜 By the way, a 7 km format is offered (solo as well). The course is a loop, to go even faster 🚀. In Motz, competition also means camaraderie and sharing 🤗. Two relay events are here to strengthen team spirit: an 8 km relay of 4 or a 10 km relay of 2 ! 👯‍♂️ No excuses to not join your running buddy 🦶, you’ll need to lace up 👟. At the Motz Cross, we even shape future champions ! 🏆 From 3 years old, the little ones can test their chances in events of 250, 500, 1 000 m, 2 km or 5 km 🧒. Choices abound!

The choice, you’ll have it for your activities after the race too! 😍 Not far from Motz there’s the town of Seyssel. To keep the adventure going at full speed 💨, the zip wires of the Fier will give the whole family a real thrill! 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 The cities of Annecy and Aix-les-Bains aren’t far either, so it’s the perfect moment to go admire their lake 🏞️. We don’t recommend swimming, unless you want a free cryotherapy session 🥶 (even if cold is good for recovery☝️). If you can’t swim, hop on a boat 🚤 and discover the wonders nestled around the lagoons: castles, towers and other historic monuments add to the charm. Don’t forget to pause for a meal at a restaurant: you never leave the two Savoies without a good tartiflette 🫕 or a nice cheese bite ! 🧀

So, on your bib, the Motz Cross is bound to take your breath away! 😮
