Become a volunteer

Since its inception in 2007, Raid in France has relied on a staff and a team of around 100 volunteers. Without this exceptional and unique commitment of time, energy, and dedication, the race would simply not exist!

Our Raid in France family is brimming with talent

• Course planning: countless long weekends spent finding the right path, the unforgettable view, and the passage that makes all the difference.
• Administrative management, accounting, and secretariat: our indispensable behind-the-scenes worker bees.
• Communication and information: pages of texts written, numerous video reports, photos, social media posts, and attention given to journalists.
