AROUND THE WORLD IN 30 YEARS
The internationally
known, prestigious endurance race, "Les Deux Jours de Montcuq" is embarking on
its 30th year of existence. During those 30 years the founder, Pierre Passemard
traveled around the world observing and participating in other endurance races,
gaining a lot of experience and contacts (including in Australia in the 80 th).
This enabled him to be able to bring together, here in the South West of France,
international riders of the highest caliber, forging it into one of the
preeminent races of its kind.
While many races have come and gone over
the years, historically "Les Deux Jours de Montcuq is one of the oldest
sustaining endurance races in the world. With few alterations, the course has
remained the same, mapped over some of the most outstanding, unspoiled, rugged
countryside of France relentlessly challenging some of the finest riders from
all over the globe.
With this in mind, the officials of the "Deux Jours
de Montcuq" wish to invite you to enter the premier classic endurance race of
France, to compete with some of the world's best riders and horses in the
beautifully unique venue of the "Quercy Blanc" on the 30th anniversary of its
running.
