A brand-new, completely crazy race is being added to your calendar! You already know the Frappadingues series, but do you know the Frappadingue Beauvais ? 😜 In September, you’ve got a date in Beauvais, in the Oise department 📍. Here, there’s no question of competition 🏃 or timing ⏱️—this race is for all profiles who want to have fun 🤠. Before you sign up, make sure you’ve got some old clothes 🩳, because this challenge will get you filthy from head to toe 🐷. You’ve got it: the Frappadingue is a truly one-of-a-kind obstacle race.
On the agenda, two courses will give you a hard time 😈. The “S” format, from 5 to 6 km , features 15 obstacles, each crazier than the last 🤪. For the toughest, the “L” format, from 10 to 12 km, includes 40 obstacles that will put your abilities to the test 😏. Between ladders, monkey bridges, climbing nets, tunnels to get through, mud pits and other traps, your progress will be seriously slowed down ❌. You know the saying “unity is strength”? 💪 Well, you’ll have to put it into practice! If you take part in this race, it’s not the time to go solo 👎: you’ll need to help your teammates get over the obstacles 🫂. In other words, if you didn’t catch that, you’ll have to give them a boost 😅 and pull them out of the water 💦. Because yes, during the course you’ll have to swim across a 25 m natural pool (that’s how Léon Marchand >got started 🥇). As if the concept weren’t funny enough already, participation is in costume ! 🥸 If you’re out of ideas, last year’s edition featured escaped prisoners 🚨, giant babies 🍼, Santa Clauses 🎅 and even firefighters 🧑🚒. Little daredevils 👶 get to splash in the mud too! A Frappajeune race is reserved for them to introduce them safely to obstacle courses ✅. This event aims to bring participants together and give them a friendly time, whatever their level—so don’t be afraid to give it a go! 😁
Once your race is over, you’ll be offered a nice cold beer (drink responsibly)! 🍺 Then you can kick back in the finish village and enjoy the deckchairs 😎, the refreshments and the music on site 🎶. You can even capture the moment with the “PhotoWall” reserved for champions 📸. We don’t know about you, but we can already feel summer coming with this challenge 🌞.
After splashing through the mud, explore the little village of Gerberoy, one of the most beautiful villages in France 🏘️. And after a race like that, nothing beats a recap of your friends’ best falls during a picnic by the Plan d'eau du Canada 💧. If you’re a history buff, head out to see the Saint-Pierre Cathedral of Beauvais or the Chantilly Castle, just a few kilometers from Beauvais 🏰. And to satisfy your taste buds, try the ficelle picarde, the leek flammiche and the chocolate “tuile” 🍫.
