La Ruée des Fadas - Montpellier

Fada : an adjective and noun used to talk about someone a little crazy 🤪

That’s exactly what La Ruée des Fadas is looking for 🔍: people with a touch of madness to take on this sporty and playful. Have you ever watched Koh-Lanta 🔥 and Ninja Warrior, dreaming of taking on the famous obstacle course ? 🙌 Fortunately for you, the selection here is less demanding, and you don’t need special athletic skills 😉. All that’s required is: your warrior spirit 🥊, the drive to surpass yourself 🥵, your desire to have fun with a few friends for a winning combo ✅. There you go, you’re the ideal candidate 👏.

Ready for the Fadas’ adventure? 😝 We’re not taking you to a remote island in the middle of the Pacific 🐠but we’re not far from the sea 🌊. Indeed, you’ll find us between Nîmes and Montpellier, specifically in Castries, at the domaine Saint Jean de l’Arbousier, located in the heights of the village 🏘️, in the beautiful Occitanie 📍. In May, this event is totally wild and guaranteed to make you smile as you join in.

On the unique 8 km, you’ll push your limits and tackle the 30 obstacles that stand in your path 🚧, with teammates who are more athletic and wacky than each other 🤓. To name a few, you’ll face the famous rope climb, the giant wrecking ball 🎳, mud pits, climbs to conquer and nets to crawl… And this list is not exhaustive 👀. Calling all runners seeking new sensations and the challengers who love a challenge, this event is not to be missed ❗ If you don’t want to get dirty, you’d better come in costume for even more fun ! 😜

This team-only race aims to build a steel character to motivate your crew 😎, because alone you go faster but together we go further 💪. That’s exactly what the organizers wanted to highlight to make this experience unique on every level ✨. So Fada, who will you pick to form your team of shock ? 😏 The rallying cry of the race is the self-improvement. You never know what you’re capable of in a competitive setting 🥇. Come on, we know your warrior spirit ⚔️ longs to express itself and this race is the perfect event to become the Claude from this season. It’s the perfect chance to break from daily life, but don’t worry—the only aftereffects you’ll have are memories of your sack race wipeout 😂. You’ll see, the organizers have plenty of surprises that are sure to be memorable 🤯.

The adventure doesn’t start on the starting line, because before the challenge begins, the vibe will already be part of it with some animations around the Fadas’ village 🎉. The party starts as soon as you arrive with challenges for your team including a blind test 🎤 and some dances 🕺🏻. You’ll even get a mental prep and physical warm-up before the race 🧠, where the fun will be at the center under the famous foam cannon... 🛁 When someone says this event is not to be missed, we weren’t joking, and even parents have no excuses to step back, with inflatable play areas will be available for kids 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦.

Alright, we can’t finish without telling you a bit about the lovely city of Montpellier. Located a few kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea 🌊, the city’s heritage earned it the prestigious label of City and Country of Art and History in 2019. A perfect place to stroll after this tough race, and we highly recommend grabbing a bite 😋. So take the chance to try local specialties such as the Pélardon or a Pezenas pâté

Enough joking around, it’s time to assemble your team of Fadas 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. Who are the wildest people in your circle to take part in this crazy experience ? 🤪
