An Ariégeois conquering Route 66!

Josyan Sieurac, an adventure enthusiast and native of Ariège, embarked on an extraordinary epic: running across the United States, along the iconic Route 66. From Chicago to Los Angeles, he runs a marathon per day for 100 consecutive days. With more than 4,000 km at his feet, this heroic and united feat is both a personal challenge and a commitment to a cause close to his heart.

A united adventure

Josyan Sieurac doesn't just run for himself. This major challenge is also a solidarity approach: he hopes to raise funds to support two associations which work for sick children. His motivation thus goes beyond simple sporting prowess; it is a deeply human commitment that pushes him every day to face the kilometers, the changing climate, and the obstacles of Route 66. Thanks to an online prize pool, he invites the public to participate in his effort to offer hope and support to young patients and their families.

A semi-autonomous journey

Crossing a continent on foot is a challenge in itself, but doing it semi-autonomously adds an additional dimension to this feat. Josyan must manage his own supply of water, food and basic equipment, while enduring the rigors of the route and the drastic climatic changes of the road. This daily marathon tests his physical and mental endurance, but Josyan is not one to give up.

Ariège in the heart and at the end of the arms

Proud of his roots, Josyan Sieurac takes with him the spirit and colors of Ariège. He never misses an opportunity to remember where he comes from, carrying with him the energy and support of his native department. Ariège follows his journey with pride, admiring the strength and determination of this runner with a big heart. At each stage, the encouragement of his loved ones, his friends, and the inhabitants of Ariège accompanies him and gives him the energy to always move a little further.

Arrival planned for early December

If all goes according to plan, Josyan is expected to reach Los Angeles in early December, an emotional culmination that will cap off months of hard work and generosity. Until then, he continues his journey, one step after another, one marathon after another, under the admiring gaze of those who follow him enthusiastically.
