Crazy Raid of Artois 2026

The Crazy Raid of Artois is the kind of weekend you show up for to challenge yourself… and you leave with stories to tell (and a bit of mud on your calves) 🧭.

Here, in Duisans, right in the heart of Pas-de-Calais, you’re going all-in on the nature & forest vibe: trails that smell like woodland, punchy surges just the way you like them, and above all a pair format where you never let go of your partner (even when they tell you “it’ll go through”) 🌲.

Two options, two vibes: in Discovery, you string together the challenges for a total of 40 km with mountain biking, Run&Bike, orienteering, a surprise event (yes, surprise…), and a final 3 km to finish strong 🚵.

If you want the “we came, we saw, we sweated” version, the Experienced formula climbs to 62 km: more mountain biking, more duo action, always orienteering to put your brain into the race, and a double finale with 3 km + 9 km to chase that little extra something 🏁.

And if you’re coming as a tribe, good news: there are also children & juniors courses, so everyone gets their moment of glory while you play the great explorer 🧒.

After the effort, I’ll keep you in the area: hop over to Arras for its two magnificent squares, Grand’Place and Place des Héros, head down into the Boves (the underground galleries), stop by the Vimy Memorial for an impressive interlude, or make for the Arras Belfry to gain a little height before a drink on a terrace.

In short: you come for a raid, you leave with a mini trip through Hauts-de-France… and a duo even more bonded than before (promise, it creates ties, even when it hurts) ! ✨
