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.
About the event (2026 edition)
La Yussoise is a charity running and walking event at the Aéroparc de Yutz, in Yutz, France, organised by the association Poussières d'Etoiles, whose stated purpose is to raise awareness of the needs of people with any form of cancer and of those who accompany them, and to bring them comfort and financial support. The timing platform describes several running and walking courses on 4 October 2026 in a sporting and charitable spirit, scheduled from 10:00 to 13:00: a timed 10 km and a half marathon, entered only on gotiming.fr, plus a 5 km walk and, new in 2026, a 10 km walk. Start and finish are at the Aéroparc de Yutz; participants are welcomed from 9:45 with a warm-up from 10:15, the event is open to everyone, pets included, with a bar, entertainment and food on site. Taking part goes through the purchase of the 2026 La Yussoise tee-shirt (12 euros for adults, 6 euros for children). Entries for the timed races opened on 1 June 2026 and close on 3 October at 23:00. GoTiming times the event and keeps the results of the 2023, 2024 and 2025 editions, and the Ville de Yutz listed the 1 October 2023 race as the 5th edition.
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.
my takeFifty 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.
