Raid in France: an adventure race like no other in total autonomy. The concept is simple: 4 racers (including at least one woman) completely immerged in the wilderness for a 4 to 6 days non-stop adventure. The route remains secret until the race starts. The itineraries are uncovered in real time by the participants during the race.
Having participated to the world’s biggest races, the organizers of Raid In France can bear witness to the diversity of French territory; with perfect settings for adventures as exotic as South America, Africa or Oceania.
Each edition takes place in a different region in France. Raid In France race adventure requires serious training. Routes and race layouts are known to be extremely demanding.
Raid in France was founded by Pascal Bahuaud, olympic rowing finaliste in 1988 at Séoul and 13 times french rowing champion, competed in 10 Raids Gauloise, finishing second 5 times and third twice.
Organizer since 2007 of 13 Races of the ARWS, including 2 AR World Championships in 2012 and 2018 (Reunion Island).
