About Us
"A spectacular land of contrasts that we know, explore and love."
CÉDRIC AMAND, FOUNDER
Sport as a way to explore
La Baroudeuse Organisation creates and organises outdoor events and sporting experiences in a unique territory where the Mediterranean meets the Alps.
Gravel, cycling, trail running, ultra-trail, triathlon, ultra-endurance… Across every discipline, we share the same vision: to make sport a way to explore, discover new places and experience adventures that go far beyond performance alone.
From the Mediterranean to the summits of the Alps
Our playground stretches from the Mediterranean coast to the peaks of the Mercantour, through Monaco, the Riviera, the hilltop villages of the hinterland, wild valleys and legendary Alpine passes.
This is where we create routes that reveal the full diversity of our region: quiet roads, gravel tracks, trails, mountain passes, ridgelines and forgotten paths become the setting for sporting experiences designed for those who love to venture off the beaten track.
More than a finish line
For La Baroudeuse Organisation, a sporting event is about much more than a stopwatch or a finish line.
It is an experience.
A climb shared with others. Sunrise over the mountains. A long day on the bike. A descent towards the Mediterranean. A few kilometres alongside fellow adventurers. And sometimes, simply a moment to stop, take in the landscape and appreciate how far you have come.
Performance can be part of the adventure, but it is never the only reason to set out.
Events with an identity of their own
Every La Baroudeuse event is designed as an adventure in its own right, with its own territory, route, identity and story.
From the Monaco Gravel Race to the Mercantour Man Xtrem Triathlon, and the events of the Riviera Trail Challenge, we explore different disciplines with the same ambition: to create outdoor events that offer a different way to discover and experience our territory.
Run. Ride. Swim. Climb. Explore. Endure. Share.
Welcome to the world of La Baroudeuse.
