For the 24th consecutive year, the Raid EDHEC will take place at the end of May, from Wednesday, May 24 to Sunday, May 28, amidst the magnificent landscapes of the Southern Alps. A high-level multi-sport raid organized by students from the EDHEC Business School, it was created in 1994 by Sébastien Ledoux.
One of the most challenging raids in France, it primarily attracts semi-professional athletes, with 120 participants starting in teams of three.
The 200km course with an 8000m positive elevation gain includes 60% mountain biking and 40% trail running, with a special event each day (Canoeing, Canyoning, Biathlon, Via Ferrata, etc.)
Around fifty student organizers have worked on the event throughout the year.
Since the first edition in 1993, the Raid EDHEC has strived to make the finish line a friendly moment designed to welcome the general public and share its passion for outdoor sports, a passion that, over five days, brings together participants and organizers.
The finish line usually takes place on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice for a grand moment.
This year, the finish area is being reinvented and will be held for the first time on the castle hill, offering participants a dream finish with stunning views over Nice from this well-known scenic spot.
