Do you know the most famous obstacle race in France? Derived from the "Salicorne" race, the Frappadingue began in 2010 in Montreuil-sur-Mer. This original race allows you to discover French landscapes and heritage through sport with carefully chosen sites.
Obstacles, challenges, friends and fun are the slogans of this race where team spirit outweighs the competition. The objective is to cross a 12 km route with at least 40 obstacles: monkey bridges, nets, tunnels, mud... Forget the stopwatch, what counts is to participate and to surpass yourself.
The Frappadingue now takes place in many diffrent places, in its native region, the Hauts-de-France, as well as other regions: Bordeaux, Paris, Carcassonne and Courchevel. Participants come from all over France and most dress up for this event that combines a physical event with a festive atmosphere. About 35% of women participate in the Frappadingues, in 2015 this figure prompted the organizers to create a 100% female race in a magical setting: the domain of Chantilly.
If the race is aimed at people over the age of 16, children can take part in the Frappajeune on a 2 km course. For even more fun, you can also team up with friends or family. And you, would you be ready for the challenge?
