When sport meets history, the result is the Raid de la Voie Sacrée. On September 23 and 24, 2023, you'll have the opportunity to take part in an exceptional form of triathlon, a multi-sport raid, organized since the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War. And you'll need stamina and courage to cover almost 250 kilometers, as the Poilus did in their day, between Verdun and Paris. In teams, it's off to trail running, mountain biking and swimrun!
It's the same mythical route, but in the opposite direction, as the French soldiers who set off almost a hundred years earlier to the front in Verdun. This two-day triathlon includes a bivouac on Saturday evening, to rest up after three demanding sporting disciplines. But to take part in this great sporting event, you'll need to find two other people to share the adventure with!
There arethree routes to choose from, depending on your physical condition and your desire for a challenge: 50km, a fun race open to all, 200km or 250km, for the more experienced. Registration is now open and includes the Saturday evening meal and refreshments throughout the race. So, will you take up this great sporting challenge in memory of the Poilus?
