Presentation
The event will be held for its first edition in Brive, in the Parc de la Guierle. The departures and arrivals of all disciplines except hiking will therefore take place from this village where the atmosphere promises to live up to the reputation of Les Gaillards. The hike will leave from Sainte Féréole or Donzenac depending on the route and will also arrive in the Guierle park in Brive.

- Prepare yourself physically : do cardio, strengthen your legs but also your arms (the aperitif promises to be tough too)
- Growing a mustache (yes yes... it seems that it greatly improves performance)
