Organized by the foundation defeated Alzheimer, from April 2 to 1is June 2025, #Bougetonceau is an annual collaborative sporting challenge which aims to raise awareness of the benefits of physical activity to combat cognitive decline.
This initiative proposed by the foundation defeated Alzheimer resonates particularly with the values and practices of the licensees of the French Cyclotourism Federation, which, in addition to their regular commitment in physical activity, generally adopt a balanced diet.
The benefits of physical activity on brain health
Practicing 2 h 30 of physical activity per week can reduce the risk of developing cognitive disorders from 35 to 45 %. Whether running, walking, pedaling or swimming, regular physical activity is a real ally to preserve brain health.
The licensees of the French Cyclotourism Federation, already engaged in regular sports, are natural ambassadors of this cause. Their lifestyle, combining physical activity and balanced diet, perfectly illustrates the benefits of a healthy lifestyle on cognitive health.
An ambitious challenge for an essential cause
Last year, more than 2,100 participants traveled more than 384,400 kilometers together, the Terre-Moon distance. For this 5e Edition, the objective is even more ambitious: traveling 500,000 km, more than twelve times the turn of the earth.
This collective challenge invites everyone to contribute, at their own pace and according to their preferences, running, walking, pedaling or swimming.
