Cool on the banks of the Vienne

If you want to meet joggers, motivate yourself, progress or simply enjoy the surroundings, the edges of Vienna are the perfect place to go for a run. Left bank, right bank, everything comes together via our two historic bridges, Saint-Martial and Saint-Etienne. The simplest walk is also between these, for a mini course of 2,5 km. And then you extend your run by going in any of the 4 directions along the river. Finally, the landscapes each have their own charm to offer you. Be careful not to succumb to the smell emanating from the various restaurants at the water's edge.

Sporting moment at Parc de Beaublanc

The mythical sports park will wake up your real competitive spirit ! You can run on a real Athletics track in a super complex, where experienced runners train. If the track is used for training, do not hesitate to take a tour of the whole complex which is around 2km. You will surely find people of your level, which will allow you to continually progress every time you go to Beaublanc.

The Bois de la Bastide to be quiet

La Bastide is the corner where you always run in peace, a stone's throw north of Limoges. Bonus, the environment and the ground are pleasant for each stride. 4 organized circuits make you run, depending on your level, between 2 and 7km: a pleasure that can be extended by crossing the bridge over the A20 to reach Lake Uzurat, the turn of which is 1,5 km.

La Porcelaine city loop

La Buckle of porcelain is a hike or an old run, but we thought we could offer it to you as a run. 'Cause it's marked on the ground and you (re)discover the left bank of Limoges passing by the edges of Vienna and many parks. 9 and a half kilometers and only 30 meters of elevation gain: by pushing a little at the end, beat your personal best over 10km. The hike/run can even be downloaded from here.

Jogging in the middle of nature on the Agglo

Limoges and its agglomeration are larger than expected and above all very pretty. You can already continue to along the banks of Vienna towards the Palace or Aixe-sur-Vienne. The Aurence Valley, located north of Limoges, is ideal for recharge and diversify your jogging route. Discover it Zoo at the main entrance to this immense forest park, then stroll through the undergrowth of the valley, along the stream to extend to the Moulin Pinard Park going through the tunnel. Otherwise, we offer Boisseuil wood, the Vaseix forest in Verneuil-sur-Vienne or, Solignac who will be able to offer you a nice race on the banks of the Briance or in the surrounding paths, promising rather a mini improvised trail with the difference in altitude.
