With Marmot Tours you can take on the epic five-day Raid Pyrenean challenge, riding coast to coast across the entire Pyrenees

Join the ultimate Pyrenean adventure

Seventy-five years ago, the Cyclo Club Béarnais in the French city of Pau devised a devilish cycling route that went coast to coast across the French Pyrenees between Cerbère and Hendaye, sticking as close to the border with Spain as possible.

A humungous undertaking at the time, it has since evolved into a legendary timed challenge that sees cyclists take on its 720km every summer. The aim is to complete the route in under 100 hours, but considering that involves conquering climbs such as the Col du Tourmalet and the Col d’Aubisque, doing so is no mean feat.

There’s no better way to experience the Raid Pyrenean than with Marmot Tours.

Udog Sempre

U dog's new 'everyday' racing shoe, the Sempre, uses the same last as its Cento race shoe but I saves money by employing a pared back version of the Tension Wrap System 2.0 and a different outsole.
