Le GravelMan du souvenir, des routes de légendes, une nouvelle trace, des moments de partage et de rigolade. ⭐️

La Voie Sacrée, route mythique reliant Bar-le-Duc à Verdun, contribua grandement à la façon dont la bataille de Verdun a évolué au cours de l'année 1916. Seul itinéraire adapté pour permettre d'alimenter le front en hommes et en matériel, il y fut organisé un flux continu impressionnant.

Principe des GravelMan Series : Dix jours avant le départ tu recevras la map ainsi qu'un manifeste qui contient les différentes adresses ou lieux des 10 checkpoints où tu devras prendre un selfie devant le monument / le lieu pour justifier de ton passage.

On te promet une map originale, aventureuse à souhait et une arrivée tout près des Champs Elysées !

Huit formats : Gravel ou Route d'un peu moins de 500km, 350km, 120 et 60 kilomètres chacun. Chacun sa vitesse. Chacun son plaisir.

Départ des 500 et 350 le vendredi matin 6h du matin de Verdun, le samedi 8h pour les 120km et 60km de Paris.
