Trans’Organisation quick overview
Trans’Organisation, a non-profit association, was created in 1997 in order to organize
La Transjurassienne and promote the Franche-Comté Region as well as the Jura Mountains,
while supporting all the parties actively involved in the event organization and Nordic skiing
development.
As of today, Trans’Organisation organizes 3 annual events :
La Transjurassienne, la Transjeune and la Transju’trail.
The association regroups the 9 ski-clubs located along La Transjurassienne track :
US Lamoura, SC Prémanon, Skieurs Rousselands, SC Bois d’Amont, SC Le Brassus (Switzerland),
SC Morbier-Bellefontaine-Morez, SC Mont Noir, Risoux-Club and AS Mouthe.
Presided by Hervé Balland, the association includes 5 employees, strongly supported by
the 45 members of the Organisation Committee.
Most of all, La Transjurassienne is the result of the enthusiasm, the know-how, the availability
and the competencies of its 1000 volunteers, fully dedicated to “their” Transjurassienne.
When comparing the number of volunteers with the total number of inhabitants between
Lamoura and Mouthe, we can draw the conclusion that practically every family of the area
is involved in La Transjurassienne one way or another… and this is “the Transju spirit” !

LA TRANSJURASSIENNE,
37 YEARS OF PASSION !
Created in 1979 by Jacky Mandrillon and Georges Berthet, for almost 40 years
La Transjurassienne has been the most important popular cross-country ski
event in France : “More than 7’100 skiers challenge themselves and enjoy the
magic of one our events traversing the Jura Mountains each year” affirms Hervé
Balland, President of Trans’Organisation and national Nordic ski legend himself.
“La Transjurassienne is also the one of the most important rendezvous on the FIS
Worldloppet Cup calendar, a cup that challenges the world’s elite long-distance
cross country skiers. Add that to our affiliation to the Worldloppet Ski Federation
counting 20 member nations on 4 continents, it’s not surprising that we attract
racers coming from 26 different countries” points out Annette Lamy Chappuis,
vice-President.
For this next edition, all of these skiers, surrounded by more than a thousand
volunteers and many more spectators, will have one thing in mind : make a date
to meet the myth in Jura and Doubs, the mountainous expanse of the newly
defined Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region.
“For them and for the entire Massif Jurassien, La Transjurassienne represents
more than any other ski event in France, an exceptional and unique festival of
events” expresses William Trachsel, Trans’Organisation’s general coordinator.
A simple reason for this enthusiasm : Identity
It’s simply an event that everyone can identify with …
First of all, there is identifying with the sport.
There’d be no Transjurassienne without that visceral passion for Nordic skiing.
The complete Program
of la Transjurassienne 2016 :
Wednesday, January 20 , 2016 :
> La Transjeune (Les Rousses)
Friday, February 12 , 2016 :
> Bib distribution and Nordic Show (Morez)
Saturday, February 13 , 2016 :
• Saturday’s Classic events :
> La Transju’classic (56 km between Les Rousses and Mouthe)
> La Trans 25CT (25 km between Chapelle-des-Bois and Mouthe)
> Bib distribution and Nordic Show (Morez)
> Espace ludique Transju’ - animations (Mouthe)
Sunday, February 14 , 2016 :
• The Mythic Sunday events :
> La Transjurassienne (68 km between Lamoura and Mouthe,
Stage of the FIS Worldloppet Cup)
> La Transju’Marathon (48 km between Les Rousses and Mouthe)
> La Trans 25FT (25 km between Chapelle-des-Bois and Mouthe)
> Espace ludique Transju’ - animations (Mouthe)
And then there’s identifying with the distance. 68 km, the longest distance in
France and the third longest in the world behind the Swedish Vasaloppet
(90 km) and the Italian Marcialonga (70 km), it represents a definite challenge
for all cross-country skiers !
And for those who would like to start out with a slightly lesser distance there
is the 48 km of the TransjuMarathon, or the 56 km of the TransjuClassic, all of
which offer a unique challenge and are far from being a lesser challenge :
isn’t the 50 km cross-country event one of the most reputed Nordic events of
the Olympic Games ? ...
Identifying with the decor is big. Participating in La Transjurassienne is the
perfect occasion to discover, to rediscover and to come into harmony with the
magnificent scenery of the Jura Mountains described as eloquent, soft, rolling
and varied ... almost human in quality.
Finally, there is identifying with the unique atmosphere, “the Transju spirit” !
No other event inspires as much excitement and enthusiasm from the public
who are present all along the course, along the feeding stations and the
villages traversed to warmly encourage the participants. Ask any competitor,
the clamor of the public works magic to carry them to the finish line!

km FT between Lamoura and Mouthe
La Transjurassienne 68 km FT is the king event in February !
A few new ingredients will add up to the 2016 tasty recipe that only
the heartiest skiers will savor to the very end ...
For the competitors :
Again this year, the event will be on the FIS WORLDLOPPET CUP agenda
(formerly named the FIS Marathon Cup).

For the romantic skiers :
What could be better to do on Saint Valentine’s day than “Lamour-à-Mouthe”,
a pun that can be translated as “Making love in Mouthe” ?
For the nostalgic skiers :
2016 will celebrate the 20th anniversary of Hervé Balland’s second and last
victory. This was in 1996 and he reached the podium in the company of
Stéphane Passeron (GAP) and Silvano Barco (ITA).

La Transju’Marathon : 48 km FT between Les Rousses and Mouthe
La Trans 25FT : 25 km FT between Chapelle-des-Bois and Mouthe
Sister events of La Transjurassienne, these two events give all cross-country
lovers the opportunity to experience the Transju atmosphere at a distance
adapted for a shorter effort …who knows, it may lead to participation in the
mythical course sometime in the future.
Just for information, since 2000, la Transju’Marathon was “the” reference event
for women, which explains the prestigious names present in the event’s hall of
fame.
The start of la Transju’Marathon will be given at 10 : 30 am at the Middle School
- Collège du Rochat, in Les Rousses. La Trans 25FT will start at 1 : 00 pm in
Chapelle-des-Bois. From the start to finish of each event, both follow the same
tracks as the La Transjurassienne course.

La Transju’Classic : 56 km entre Les Rousses et Mouthe
La Transjeune, aux Rousses (Collège du Rochat)
Next January 20, almost 2’500 young skiers will participate in the 25th edition of
La Transjeune in the ski-resort of Les Rousses Haut-Jura. A unique combination in
France that celebrates both youth and skiing !
Aged 7 to 19, these children and teen-agers will meet at the Collège du Rochat
to compete or simply enjoy a nice day of cross-country skiing with their school
or club mates, family or friends !
These 24 events organized in partnership with UNSS and USEP (12 categories for
girls and boys) offer distances of 1, 2, 3 or 6 km.
The accompanying adults and children are also welcome and encouraged
to participate in the side-activities in the recreational area: cross-country ski
initiation led by Prémanon CNSNMM and Les Rousses ESF, a “ski-cross” zone for
the most reckless skiers, games and contests on the partners’ stands, all in the
presence of the unforgettable Rouxy, Les Rousses’ mascot !
Registration is free for primary school children whose schools are affiliated with
USEP, provided they register through USEP.
Registration is free for high school children whose schools are affiliated with
UNSS, provided they register through UNSS.
Registration is free for children holding an FFS ski-club license, either through
their club or individually.
All other children may register individually; they just need to get an FFS daily
participation pass.

The Transju’ Challenges
THAT MAKE LA TRANSJU’
BONALDI Sergio
DABUDYK Aurélie
CHAUVET Benoît
GOLAY GEYMOND Florence
Unconventional and unique, La Transjurassienne logically attracts unique
athletes ... for more and more die-hards, men and women alike, one Transju
event isn’t enough ! The UltraTrans was created just for them ! A combination of
Saturday’s Transju’Classic (56 km) and La Transjurassienne (68 km) on Sunday
- a total of 124 km in 2 different techniques, in two consecutive days !
A demanding challenge requiring exceptional physical condition, courage and
determination; a challenge that 149 men as well as 13 women took on last year ! ...
don’t make the mistake of thinking that the UltraTrans is only reserved for
youngsters ... the oldest finishers of this challenge were 67 years young (Jean-Yves
Corlay and Pierre Poux) !
Another unique challenge picking up in popularity is the “Défi Ski/Trail Transju’”.
A feat that connects winter and summer bringing together athletes who
participate in La Transjurassienne (68 km, the 48 km FT or the 56 km CT) AND
the Transju’trail (72km or 36 km) ! 73 participants took on this crazy feat in 2015,
including 5 women...
Many of the Transjurassienne events count as official stages events for major
national and international circuits: la FIS Worldloppet Cup (see the following
page), le Marathon Ski Tour (the French Ski Federation circuit including 12 national
long-distance cross-country events), le Nordic Classic Tour (a Franco-Swiss
classic cup created by Nordic Magazine) and the Ski Tour Montagnes du Jura
(a regional long-distance circuit).

Worldloppet : The World of Marathon Skiing
Worldloppet is an international sports federation of cross-country skiing
marathons that brings together 20 of the most prestigious cross-country events
on 4 continents. The federation was founded in 1978 in Uppsala, Sweden. The aim
of Worldloppet is to promote the sport of cross-country skiing through the various
ski races around the world. Only one and the best race from a country can be a
member of Worldloppet; representing France – La Transjurassienne became part
of the Worldloppet since 1981. 130 000 skiers from 50 countries participate in one
of these popular events.
The 2015 Worldloppet annual general meeting (AGM) took place in the heart of the Jura
Mountains in June this year, solid proof of the confidence the Worldloppet Federation
holds for Trans’Organisation, represented by Annette Lamy Chappuis, vice-president
of Trans’Organisation, in the Worldloppet executive committee.
THE 20 MEMBER RACES OF THE WORDLOPPET :
• USHUAIA LOPPET (ARG), in August
• MERINO MUSTER (NZL), in August

• FOSSAVATNSGANGAN (ISL), in April
The Worldloppet Passport : Skiers from all over the world have the possibility of obtaining a Worldloppet
passport, a unique way to record your Worldloppet accomplishments. More than 18’000 passports have
been delivered to date. All Worldloppet events reserve a special welcome for Worldloppet passport
holders, in La Transjurassienne, Worldloppet passport holders start in the 2nd start wave at most and
a special brunch is set up in their honor from 9am to noon on the Friday of the bib distribution weekend
in Morez ...
The Worldloppet Master : a unique amateur skier who has completed 10 different Worldloppet races,
at least one of them on another continent: Worldloppet Gold Master after completing 10 WL main races
and Worldloppet Silver Master after completing 10 WL short races. More than 4000 Masters (single or
multiple) exist today including 118 French Masters.
The most decorated Master in the World
happens to be the Frenchman Hannes
Larsson : 26 times Master, a number that
signifies that he has raced a minimum of
260 Worldloppet races in his lifetime ... and
at 84 years of age, he has no intension of
stopping there! This summer he headed
for the Southern Hemisphere to tackle the
Ushuaïa Loppet in Argentina, the Merino
Muster in New Zealand and the Kangaroo
Hoppet in Australia! Hannes Larsson is also
one of the founders of the International
Association of Worldloppet Skiers (IAWLS)
whose goal is to assure that the popular ski amateurs’ voice is heard by race organizers. The organization
is animated by 8 volunteer administrators including the Norwegian Lars Vagle - president as well as
three Frenchmen, Herve Courtine (8 time Master), Christophe Joanblanq (4 time Master) and Boris
Petroff (11 time Master).
Becoming a “Global Worldloppet Skiers” is yet another way of documenting your determination :
as the title indicates, the goal is to finish ALL Worldloppet races ... 194 dedicated skiers have already
accomplished this feat, including 9 Frenchmen ...

An Elite Cup offering both classic and free-style events bringing together the
World’s most complete elite long-distance skiers. A cup that shines on many French
athletes with 6 men in the top ten (Benoît Chauvet n°2) and 2 women in the top ten

LA TRANSJU’ IS TAKING ACTION La Transju’ and sustainable development
Because sports values are fully compatible with sustainable development,
Trans’Organisation has taken on a sustainable approach that combines
environmental, social and economical issues since 2009.
Their objective is to become an environment-friendly association to best promote
their competition as well as the region.
Trans’Organisation’s involvement in sustainable development include :
> Reduce the production of printed documents.
> Recycled or PEFC normed paper when printing is really necessary.
> Local partnerships to limit transportation.
> Waste reduction and management in collaboration with SICTOM du Haut Jura,
SYDOM du Jura and Préval (food products packaged in large quantities to limit
the number of plastic bags and boxes; Ecocup system with reusable cups at
every food stand and refreshment area so that not one single plastic cup will
be distributed).
> Information regarding protected areas and species, especially the wood grouse
(Tetrao urogallus), will be available to the participants and spectators, and a
booth dedicated to the wood grouse and the Parc Naturel Régional du Haut-Jura
will be set-up at the Nordic Fair.
> Collaboration with the Parc Naturel Régional
du Haut-Jura, the Groupe Tétras Jura and
the Office National de la Chasse et de la
Faune Sauvage to map out the tracks according
to local environmental constraints.

THE 3 BACKUP-TRACKS
In the event that the nominal track is not practicable,
the traditional course map is susceptible to being replaced by one of the 3 following alternative tracks :
• Backup track 1 : this alternative track compensates for insufficient snow or flooding between Chaux-Neuve
and Mouthe.
• Backup track 2 : this 50 km track offers a linear course between the Jura and Doubs departments and maintains
the finish area in Mouthe. It would be activated in the event that the insufficient snow cannot be compensated with
the backup track 1.
• Backup track 3 : this track is mapped out at a higher elevation where natural snow is more abundant. It would be
activated in the event that the insufficient snow cannot be compensated with the backup track 2.

LA TRANSJU’ IN HEART Strong social values !
Trans’Organisation does not take its long standing social involvement lightly and
is committed to social integration of many forms :
> By involving senior volunteers in the organization of our events.
> By considering handicaps and adapting our organization to participants
handicaps (hearing, sight or motor impairments) allowing athletes to
participate in the best possible conditions: guides, distinctive start conditions
for the Trans 25FT and specific prize-giving.
SPONSORSHIP PROGRAMS FOR 2 ORGANISAITONS
> La SAPAUDIA - Raising Awareness of Bone Marrow Donation
Trans’Organisation has been standing behind La Sapaudia in their efforts to
raise awareness of the importance of bone marrow donation since 2010.
Each year important and famous sponsors, organization members as well as
high-level athletes dress in the emblematic red check tartan, participate in
La Transjurassienne and ski alongside giving support to participants fighting
illness.
Find out more about La SAPAUDIA : www.lasapaudia.com
> SKIER POUR ELLES - Skiing for women in the fight against cancer
Skier Pour Elles is animated by our 4 time winner, record woman and board
member of La Transjurassienne Marie-Pierre Guilbaud who joined the
adventure in 2014. Their philosophy is solidarity and physical activity in the
fight against cancer. Come ski alongside “Skier Pour Elles” in La Transju 25CT
they will not focus on performance, just in finishing and doing it together.

PATRONAGE - CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP
> TRANS’PROMO
The authentic patrimony of the Jura Mountains, La Transjurassienne and the
Transju’trail is above all, an amazing human adventure relying on values
of solidarity, sharing and surpassing oneself ...
Amazing as that may seem, the monument remains fragile and it is important
to assure its sustainability and to find alternative financial solutions that
will consolidate the foundations of La Transjurassienne. That is the philosophy behind the creation
of Trans’Promo in 2014: bringing together people passionate about Nordic skiing and trail running in
the Jura Massif to support the development of Trans’Organisation through Corporate Sponsorship.
Thanks to active support in 2014 and 2015, Trans’Promo contributed in the financing of; major track
improvement, snow production and track grooming, excavation and terracing work, the promotion
of the Transju events, creating permanent signs along the Transju tracks, TV image production,
racer sprints, infrastructure rental, volunteer celebrations ...
