Because you know that Team Baroudeur likes to offer extraordinary challenges in the mountains which are already recognized as the most demanding in Europe, we have decided this year to create the Rudius Challenge.
This challenge represents the culmination and realization of our passion for extreme sports through the events we have been developing for the past ten years. We invite you to combine the organization's three flagship disciplines: the road, the MTB et triathlon.
This challenge has the particularity of being able to be taken up over several years, without any set time limit. This challenge will highlight complete and unique athlete profiles in extreme ultra-endurance mountain sports.
The goal is to gain your freedom on the key distances of our three events:
TransAlpes 2850K – 1200K
Route
Unpaved 1000K Backpacker
MTB
Mercantourman XTREM FULL
Triathlon
NOTE: We are temporarily suspending the TransAlpes 2850K road trip and the Baroudeuse Unpaved 1000K mountain bike adventure. We no longer offer group departures for these events. If you wish to participate independently during the 2026 season, please contact us directly so we can arrange your registration and departure with a GPS tracker.
Gladiators who already have one of these three adventures on their record can join the challenge at any time. Once you have collected your three rudius, you will win the challenge and therefore a "GOLDEN RUDIUS" which will symbolize the realization of the complete ultra-endurance athlete that you have become.
