In the heart of Brittany, along the enigmatic shores of Étang du Ter, the Breizh Backyard Odyssée unfolds. This isn't just a race; it's an intellectual challenge, a self-exploration journey, and a test where time loses its meaning. The concept is straightforward yet merciless: participants run a 6.7 km loop every hour until only one remains. No official clock or traditional rankings here. Only one rule stands firm: keep running. Over and over again, until you can no longer continue. As the day wanes, the race transforms dramatically. Headlamps light up, hushed silence settles in, and Étang du Ter becomes a surreal setting. It is at this moment that true adventure begins. The journey starts with 140 participants. But quickly, the pack stretches out, morphs, and fades... leaving only the most determined standing when dawn breaks once more. The Breizh Backyard Odyssée also carries an important commitment: all proceeds go to the Brain Institute, making each loop a step towards a crucial cause. Whether you're pushing your limits, experiencing something extraordinary as part of a collective adventure, or writing your own odyssey... one question remains paramount: how far will you run before surrendering?
