THEInfinity Trail : the ultimate endurance challenge
Kick-off of the trail season, theInfinity Trail stops at Pont du Gard January 31, 2025. A first event that promises to be as legendary as the site that hosts it. This Backyards Ultra circuit, a concept created by the famous Lazarus Lake – to whom we also owe the legendary Barkley in Tennessee – takes place in 7 events across France.
The goal is simple but formidable: complete a 6,7 km loop every hour until only one runner remains. Accessible to all, this race brings together athletes from all walks of life in an exceptional setting. This year, registrations are already full, demonstrating the enthusiasm for this unique event. On January 31, expect to see Lazarus Lake himself, who will come to cheer on the participants and add a legendary touch to this endurance competition.
La Come Vici : a dive into history and effort
It's much more than a race: the Come Vici is a journey through time. In the footsteps of the Romans, set off to conquer legendary routes linking Uzès to Nîmes, with a direction that changes every year. Every year, this event takes place at the beginning of November, attracts an international audience and brings together more than 8000 participants.
With distances ranging from 20 to over 70 km, the Veni Vici is a truly immersive experience, offering runners the opportunity to discover the natural and cultural riches of the Pays d'Uzès Pont du Gard while taking on a major sporting challenge.
