LIVING THE RACE ACROSS FRANCE: DESTINATION MANDELIEU
ENTER THE LEGEND
The Race Across France, our emblem, our jewel. More than just a race, it's an ultracycling legend that everyone dreams of tackling. Discover or rediscover the film of the 2025 edition and let yourself be carried away by this extraordinary adventure.
At the pinnacle of ultra-distance, the Race Across France is the most coveted challenge.
From mythical roads to wild landscapes, it embodies adventure in its purest form.
Whatever distance you choose - 200, 300, 500, 1000 or 2500 km - it's the crossing that counts, the encounter between your limits and the immensity of a territory.
On the Race Across France, every kilometer is an ascent towards yourself.
Bases de vie mark out your route: places of comfort, exchange and rebirth, where you find your loved ones, your support bag and, sometimes, the strength to set off again.
Here, overcoming becomes a universal language.
Here, stories are born that leave a lasting impression.
