The hippocampus is missing,”
worries the Fantastic Beasts team. The wheelbarrows are placed on the cob. In the style of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the pushers cross the road, take possession of their car and set off for 3 hours of racing, this Saturday, November 30, 2024 in Loiron-Ruillé (Mayenne).
From 13 to 73 years old on the participant side
The Sport and Relaxation association, like every year, is mobilizing for the benefit of the Telethon. Fabienne Verger, the president, explains the objective of the competition. “Each wheelbarrow pays for its registration. Then we hope that this unusual race attracts spectators to buy from the market that has been set up for the Telethon. » Seven wheelbarrows are at the start, each made up of five people. The teams take turns every 500 m, each time they pass in front of the stand.
All generations participate, from 13 years old for the Loironnaise team, to 73 years old for the Retired team. We don't run, we walk
slips the Retired team.
68 laps and 34 km for the victorious team
The Best Climber has her slogan: Mayenne likes the tour, because the Tour de France passes in Mayenne.
The laps followed one another, with a few incidents… Loss of screws and two punctures which required wheel changes.
Ultimately, it was the Best Climber team that won, with 68 laps and 34 km of course. In total, the seven teams covered more than 300 km together!
