Afterwork running - Lyon

Afterwork Running Lyon is an evening company relay at Matmut Stadium de Gerland in late May. Teams run in Parc de Gerland, with each runner covering the same 5 km loop before handing over to colleagues inside the stadium area. It is timed, but the setup is more office-night-out than hard-core race: the entry is reserved for companies, and the point is to run together after work, shake off the day, and still have a team result to chase. The route stays flat around Gerland, so it suits mixed workplace teams, first-timers, and runners who want a fast 5 km leg without hills after a working day. Listings also describe it as a discovery trail event, with a 20 km relay option built from four 5 km runs. Cross des Myriades organizes the race, and the evening continues after the finish with a winning-team prize, a meal using local products, and a DJ.
