UTMJ Kids is the chance for young trail runners to challenge themselves on age-appropriate courses, discover the beauty of the Jura massif, and experience the unique atmosphere of the UTMJ. From the Louve (1 km) to the Hermine (3 km), via the Milan (1.5 km) and the Tétras (5 km), every child can push themselves and go beyond their limits. And for the youngest ones, the Écureuil (500m) offers a fun and gentle introduction to trail running.
