For its fifth edition, the Free Handi’se Trophy, an inter-company race, has chosen the exceptional setting of the Southeast of France to challenge stereotypes about disability in the workplace and prove that collective performance stems from diversity.
Since May 20, 72 able-bodied and disabled competitors have embarked from the Savoyard peaks of Annecy for a 721-kilometer journey — either by tandem bike or canoe — through 8 departments (Haute Savoie, Savoie, Isère, Drôme, Vaucluse, Alpes de Haute Provence, Var, Alpes Maritimes).
The adventure will conclude this Saturday in Nice, with the participants’ arrival scheduled for 3 PM.
Nice participated in this extraordinary human adventure by forming a team named “Team Mounta Cala,” joining the 9 companies that wished to be part of this extraordinary human journey.
The adventure will conclude next Saturday in Nice. The Free Handi’se Trophy village will open its doors at 11 AM on Quai des Etats-Unis, with the participants’ arrival scheduled for 3 PM.
At 4 PM, during the official closing ceremony, prizes will be awarded to the winners of this inter-company handi-valid race (Champions’ Prize, 1st Prize, 2nd Prize, 3rd Prize, Special Jury Prize, Humor Prize, Cohesion Prize, and Mobilization Prize).
