Duo du bois joli

Want to leave the asphalt behind and tackle something rawer, more authentic, more playful? The Duo du Bois Joli takes you to Badaroux, in the heart of Lozère, for a nature adventure to share with a partner… or to experience carried by the local atmosphere if you come solo or with your supporters.

Here, you run as a duo over 17 km or 9 km, or head out in hiking mode over 12 km. Whatever the format, one thing is certain: nature won't leave you indifferent.

What you'll find on site:

• Wild, natural routes that won't give your legs a moment's rest (the elevation gain is very much there, yes 😏);
• A semi-autonomous race: it's up to you to manage your hydration and your pack — here, the effort is as much about preparation as it is about the experience;
• A friendly atmosphere where runners, supporters and locals mix together to bring the event to life from the start to the final aid station;
• A solidarity commitment: €1 per registration donated to the Sports Loisirs Handicap association.

Route focus:

In Badaroux, the trails don't mess around. We're on natural, living terrain — sometimes playful, sometimes demanding. The Duo du Bois Joli is the chance to commit as a pair over 17 km with 750 m of elevation gain, or to choose a shorter version of 9 km with 350 m of elevation gain — but always with that same common thread: moving forward together.

And for those who prefer to take their time, the 12 km hike with its 350 m of elevation gain offers another way to take in the scenery. Lozère unfolds its landscapes unfiltered, and every trail reminds you why you came: to breathe, to share, and to hold on until the end.

3 (very) good reasons to take part:

• To rediscover the simple pleasure of running (or walking) in the heart of nature;
• To challenge yourself in an accessible format that still demands you hang on all the way to the finish line;
• To live a true two-person adventure, where the effort is shared just as much as the emotions at the finish;

Mark the date, adjust your pack, and come and write your Duo du Bois Joli as it should be: at the rhythm of the trails, in the heart of nature, and always in two time.
