Notre-Dame-du-Nord, September 6, 2024<\/strong> \u2013 This morning marked the start of The Raid International T\u00e9miscamingue with the youth raid. Aged 13 to 17, over a hundred teens lined up at the star line ready to take the challenging first stage of this international competition. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emotions were running high. With just seconds to go before the start, the teens could hardly contain their excitement while the heart of the parents present overflowed with pride. Engaged in their role as mentors to the youth teams, the professional athletes provided invaluable advice and support. Drawing on their experience as athletes, along with their perseverance and determination, these mentors were able to pass on the energy and confidence needed to the next generation to tackle the roughly twenty-kilometer stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When competition goes hand in hand with camaraderie<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smiles lit up the faces of the participants as they crossed under the finish arch. Shouts of victory and hugs demonstrated a spirit of genuine camaraderie that was already well-established among the young athletes and the professionals. The support and solidarity shown throughout the event forged unique bonds between the participants, who have now become peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy coincidence, the youth team wearing bib number one was the first to cross the finish line. Another coincidence, Benjamin and Lo\u00efc were accompanied by one of the pillars of the Youth Raid, Marc Gaudet, the general director of secondary schools in Notre-Dame-du-Nord and Lorrainville. For Marc, it’s a recurring story, as he was the mentor for the winning duos two years in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The youth team “Les gagnants inn\u00e9s” had to show resourcefulness and teamwork. Surprised by a mechanical breakdown and forced to leave one of their three bikes in the forest, Jonathan Aumond, Micha\u00ebl Pitre, and their guide, Tristan Zotier, took turns sharing their equipment until the end of the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll teams completed the 20-km youth raid. Well done! Congratulations from the entire team at Raid International T\u00e9miscamingue. Despite the challenges they faced, these young people really pushed their limits. They are an inspiration for the entire community. Our young people in T\u00e9miscamingue can be very proud of themselves,\u201d says Jean-Thomas Boily, co-founder and technical director of Endurance Aventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support and encourage the full potential of our youth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again this year, the business community has been very generous. In total, nearly $12,000 has been distributed in gifts and scholarships to up-and-coming athletes and youth volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the second year, Patrick Gr\u00e9goire from the Team Les Bills<\/em> of Sherbrooke was happy to donate a good quality bike to a young raider, valued at $750 : “Last year, I participated in the Youth Raid and discovered that many young participants were experiencing several of the sports for the first time, especially cycling. My idea is to make it easier for young beginners to access this sport and perhaps pass on the passion! Having quality equipment is also part of the winning conditions for enjoying a new sport. That’s why I proposed this initiative, hoping it will encourage many teams to do the same and, most importantly, that many young people will benefit from it!” Inspired by this gesture, V\u00e9lo Caf\u00e9<\/a> in Magog donated two new bikes worth $995 each, as well as several other accessories and sports equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to promoting healthy lifestyle habits and fostering a culture of outdoor activity, the Raid also aims to encourage the inclusion of youth in all aspects of an international event, including television production, photography, animation, and security. \u201cRegardless of physical condition or interests, everyone has a place in the Raid!”, says Chlo\u00e9 Beaul\u00e9-Poitras, coordinator of the T\u00e9miscamingue International Raid. For the second year, Kariane Lafleur volunteered as a youth participant. In addition to her role in animation, she also made several radio appearances. Here is what she takes away from her experience: \u201cI wanted to do a good job and live up to this wonderful event. It was amazing to see all the racers arrive with a sense of accomplishment. I was happy to be part of this great adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
