Raid Gauloises
The Raid Gauloise or The Raid is considered by many to be the first modern expedition adventure race and was first held in 1989 in New Zealand as "la grande traversée". Its creator, Gérard Fusil, took the existing concept of long distance endurance races like the Whitbred Round the World Yacht Race, and focused on the team aspects, requiring each competitor to be part of a five-person co-ed team supported by a two-person logistics crew. The Raid had no set course, with competitors being required to rely on their wits and judgment to reach the specified checkpoints. The Raid was named after its original sponsor, the Gauloises Cigarette Company. Geoff Hunt and his expat French partner Pascale Lorre replicated the event as the Southern Traverse in 1991. Hunt and Lorre went on to create the Discovery Channel World Championships in 2001 after Eco-Challenge left the network for the USA Network. The event later changed its name to the Adventure Racing World Championships and was taken ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
