Sovage is more than a race, it's a sporting expedition and a human adventure in the heart of nature.
Designed for those who are looking for much more than a finish line, Sovage invites athletes to be blown away by a unique outdoor experience .
Conceived on the principle of Adventure Raid , Sovage offers several race formats.
WILD - THE ULTIMATE ADVENTURE
The WILD is our signature format. It's a race where you'll alternate between trail running, packrafting, and mountain biking . You usually start with a trail run, carrying your packraft on your back to reach a lake or river. After paddling, you'll continue on a trail run to the village. From there, you'll begin the mountain biking portion. The race typically takes between 4.5 and 7 hours .
You can choose to race solo or in pairs . For pairs, you complete the entire race together and must cross the finish line as a pair.
You have the option of starting your WILD experience the day before (Friday) with a dinner among participants and a night in a glamping tent . After your race, to extend the adventure, we offer a friendly dinner on Saturday evening with, again, the option to sleep on-site in a glamping tent.
Why choose the WILD format?
Because you want to participate in a multi-sport expedition in nature combining trail running, packrafting and mountain biking
Because you love endurance sports challenges
And above all because you're looking to experience an unforgettable sporting and human adventure
