SoMAD is a costumed team obstacle race held in Torcy, Seine-et-Marne, east of Paris. Taking place around mid-October, it features two short formats, 5 km and 9 km. The emphasis is on mud, obstacles, costumes, and group chaos rather than road race pacing.
The course is set outdoors in a natural environment, adopting an intentionally quirky style instead of a serious race-day atmosphere. Organizers present it as a way to shed the post-holiday return-to-routine feeling. The slogan, “Ça va être soooo good !”, reinforces the playful intent: the event is designed to be fun, silly, and a bit wild.
