About the Event

The Ruée des Fadas Dijon 2026 is set for Sunday, May 17, 2026, at the Lac de Chour in Franxault. This event marks a significant milestone as part of the "Farewell Tour," representing the final season for this famous obstacle franchise after over a decade of activity. It is designed as a festive adventure festival rather than a traditional race, focusing on teamwork, mud, and elaborate costumes.

Feature Details
Distance 8 km Nature/Obstacle Course
Obstacles 30+ technical and fun challenges
Start Time Starting from 08:00 AM (Staggered waves)
Location Lac de Chour, 21170 Franxault (near Dijon)
Expected Attendance 5,000+ Participants

The course is inspired by military training but adapted for a broad audience, ensuring that non-athletes can complete the challenges with team support. Notable obstacles include "The Amazon," involving a 20-meter aquatic crossing with a lifeline, and "The Electric Underpass," a 4-meter crawl under live wires. The event center includes a dedicated "Fadas Village" featuring warm-ups, food trucks, and a festive atmosphere.

Logistical and participation details:

Participants are encouraged to wear costumes, as the event emphasizes humor and collective spirit over individual performance. The registration period remains open until the "final curtain," though waves fill up as the event date approaches.
