my take
Fifty metres of climbing over a half marathon makes this one of the flattest in the region, so it is a sensible place to chase a time. Twenty-five minutes from the border.
about the event
Charity running event on the banks of the Moselle at Yutz, beside Thionville, organised by the association Poussières d'étoiles. A half marathon of 21.1 km with only 50 m of climbing starts at 10:00 and a 10 km at 10:30, with walking routes alongside. Start and finish are at the Aéroparc de Yutz. Early entry costs 20 euros for the half and 14 for the 10 km; full prices are 25 and 16. Entries are online only, with 1,200 places across both races. The association supports people with cancer and their carers.
Preparing for La Yussoise 2026?
Race week. What the literature says, not a prescription: keep intensity, cut volume (Bosquet et al. 2007) · carbohydrate 10 to 12 g per kg of body weight per day for the 36 to 48 hours before an event longer than 90 minutes (ACSM, AND and DC position stand, Thomas et al. 2016) · 7 to 9 hours of sleep for adults (Hirshkowitz et al. 2015). Results usually appear on the organiser's page after the race.
