Nous avons tous des sommets à gravir !
Espace Etoile MAIF 139 avenue Pierre Sémard 84000 Avignon
Sébastien Raichon will share his incredible journey as an extreme adventurer and the lessons he has learned from pushing his limits, resilience and the strength of the collective.
"Not setting limits for myself and living my dreams is the path that has allowed me to become the man I am today, at 54 years old."
Sébastien Raichon is the most atypical extreme adventurer in French trail running. His journey proves that there are no limits when mental strength and willpower are present.
During this conference, he will share anecdotes about races of several hundred kilometers, sleepless nights, moments of doubt, and reveal how selflessness, collective strength, and resilience enabled him to reach the highest levels of performance.
Profoundly human values, applicable to everyday life.
Book signing session following the conference.
His book "On the paths of adventure — When the mind becomes the compass of ultra-trail running" will be available for sale.
Sébastien Raichon is:
– 2024 World Adventure Raid Champion;
– three-time winner of the Tor des Glaciers 450 km;
– first world finisher of the Chartreuse Terminorum (the “French Barkley”);
– winter double: victory in the Spine Race (430 km, England) followed by the Barkley Marathons (Tennessee, USA).
