La Foll'Ariégeoise

Welcome to the Foll’Ariégeoise, the crazy rendezvous of the Ariégeoise!

In 2023, we introduced a new festive event to spice up your pre-race.

The concept is simple: the start is from the Ariégeoise exhibition village, with a spectacular finish on the heights of old Tarascon. Originality and conviviality are paramount, as the winner will be selected by a panel of judges who will assess the disguise, the bike and the general atmosphere created.

There’s a tempting prize at stake: your weight in Destral beer! Registration is free and open to all, so don’t hesitate to take part.

Don’t forget the date: Friday 28 June 2024 for the second edition of the Foll’Ariégeoise. Come and enjoy a unique experience combining cycling and conviviality!

Expo Village

Explore the Village Expo de l’Ariégeoise, a great place to meet up with friends and various players in the cycling market, including manufacturers, bike shops and distributors. Admire more than 40 exhibitors, professionals and sponsors, spread over more than 1,000 m² of exhibition space, which also includes local products and leisure activities, such as tourist sites and course organisers.

Every year, this not-to-be-missed event attracts 7,000 visitors, both cyclists and those accompanying them, creating a festive and convivial atmosphere around the many exhibition tents. In the heart of the village, on Friday 28 June, participants collect their race numbers, while the following day, at the finish site, exhibitors welcome the riders after many hours of effort.

The organisers are offering exhibitors, partners and institutions the opportunity to set up a stand over the two days, guaranteeing maximum service to the runners. Extra-sporting activities will enliven the village, with musical entertainment, exhibitions and many other surprises to discover!
