GRAND RAID’S ESSENTIALS

This year it will be the 23nd edition of this legendary race. Racers, volunteers, spectators; it has become for some a true love story and a meeting that they would miss for any reason.

Among racers, 7 names mark the memory of the Grand Raid. They were there in the first edition of the Grand Raid and they just stayed addicted, simply.

If during a famous weekend of August you cross them on the bike, especially do not forget to encourage them and of course congratulate them as it should be!

During his 22nd registration, one of them said:

« Me, Fool? Sado? Calibrated? Cracked? Not that I know…Passionate, nature lover, loving the taste of the effort, the mountains, the smells, the landscapes, the Valais, the speed, the emotions, the atmosphere, the challenges, YESSSSSS!!!!! I think of being a little bit like that and that’s right my love for the Grand Raid, and all these things give me pleasure. These are the ingredients for my loyalty to this endurance race. »

 

We say BRAVO and THANK YOU for these wonderful year… !
