Transjurassienne
The Transjurassienne is a large cross-country skiing event in the French Jura (with part of the route passing through Swiss territory). It is part of the Worldloppet series and the cross-country skiing marathon cup . At 76 km, it is the second longest cross-country skiing race in the world after the Swedish Vasaloppet (90 km). The number of participants is usually over 4,000 cross-country skiers.
The start takes place on the second weekend in February in Lamoura (1120 m above sea level), the goal is Mouthe (930 m above sea level). The participants run through the landscapes of the Jura and Doubs departments as well as the Swiss Vallée de Joux .
The traditional 76 km long route connects the villages of Lamoura, Prémanon , Les Rousses , Bois-d'Amont , Le Brassus (CH), Bellefontaine , Chapelle-des-Bois , Le Pré Poncet, Chaux-Neuve (regularly the venue of a Nordic World Cup Combination ), Petite-Chaux and Mouthe.
The Transjurassienne was first run in the classic style , then from 1986 onwards in the free style . From 1998 further distances were added gradually:
- 54 km women's run in free style (on Sunday)
- 50 km run in classic style: the Transju'Classic (since 2006, on Saturday)
- 25 km run in free style: the MiniTrans (on Saturday)
The cumulative difference in altitude (ascent) is 510 m. Further difficulties are the difficult ascent of the Risoux to the highest point of the route (1237 m above sea level), the fast and winding descent towards Bellefontaine or a short but all the steeper ascent before Le Pré Poncet at km 65. Well prepared you also have to be on the often severe minus temperatures.
history
The race was first organized in 1979 under the name “Progressime du Jura” by two journalists from the daily Le Progrès , Jacky Mandrillon and Georges Berthet. This first edition should have taken place in the much more difficult direction from Mouthe to Lamoura, but was canceled due to lack of snow.
The participant record has stood since 2006 with 4,450 cross-country skiers (previous records: 1985 with 3,725, 2005 with 4,365 participants). The event was canceled a total of six times due to lack of snow: 1979, 1990, 1993, 2001, 2007 and 2016. In 2001 the Trans'Roller ( roller ski and inline skating race), and in 2007 the Transju'Trail ( mountain bike race) came into being called.
