Trail by Train Tour!

For 2024 Österlen Spring Trail si part of Trail by Train Tour! We are very proud to be part of this initiative! 

"The Trail by Train Tour (TTT) brings together events that are concerned with preserving the environment. What makes them special? Their starting points are all close to a train station. No need for a car to get there ! Runners are nature lovers, almost by definition. Unfortunately, they sometimes spoil it when they travel long distances by car. The new TTT circuit has been designed to remedy these pitfalls. More serenity and less carbon dioxide! At this stage, 13th great events have already joined the TTT. Others will follow. In order to offer all year round a range of races that are accessible by train, family-friendly, original and attractive.
The TTT is a project born in Brussels during the year 2021, decreed «Year of the Rail» in the countries of the European Union. This project is the joint emanation of the running magazine «Zatopek» which claims its European anchorage and the company organizing sports events, the ASBL Sport et santé."

Key idea
The strength of this TTT project comes from its position at the meeting of three convergences.

• the benefits of physical activity on health, while respecting the environment.
• the ecological transition and the urgent need to opt for less polluting modes of transport.
• European construction and the need to develop intra-European exchanges and a European mindset."
