Become a volunteer

Since its beginnings in 2007, Raid In France has a staff made up of a hundred volunteers. Raid In France would not exist without this exceptional and unique involvement in the field of sports! Actually, this is thanks to commitment, time and energy that it requires before, during and after the race that the event can occur.
