Ultra Trail au Mont Afrique

If you’re craving a big breath of fresh air and a real challenge, Run up Mont Afrique to Corcelles-les-Monts takes you right to where the Côte-d’Or shows its best: under the trees, on nature trails, with that feeling of slipping away… without going far 🌲.

Here, I’ll guide you like a local: you start at the doorstep of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, and very quickly you find yourself in the heart of the forest, with varying atmospheres along the kilometers and viewpoints that bring a smile when it starts to burn a little. Because yes, the Mont Afrique, isn’t the other side of the world, but it sure makes you feel like you’ve traveled. ⛰️.

You have two ways to indulge: the 100 km if you want to tell yourself a true adventure, or the 100 km in relay if you prefer sharing the effort and collecting great moments as a team. And honestly, in relay, you’ll see: we pass the baton, but more importantly we pass vibes. 🤝.

My insider tip: soak in the scenery, keep your head up, and save some energy for the end… The terrain is playful, nature fuels you, and the village welcome does the rest, no fuss and with heart ❤️.

And after the finish line, don’t rush off: a few minutes later you can stroll around Dijon (the historic center is worth a detour), take a break around the Kir Lake, hike up to the Tour Philippe le Bon for the view, or stroll through the Jardin Darcy for a gentle return. A perfect way to extend a couple’s or family escape, with a little terrace stop along the way if you want to celebrate properly! 🍷
