AYD'HARD 2027

AYD'HARD is a 5 km obstacle race held in Aydat, located in the Puy-de-Dôme area of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France. It takes place around mid-April and focuses on participation over competition; the event is not timed, and participants can form duos. The format is short, muddy, and physical, designed for runners seeking a nature-based challenge rather than a timed race. The event features two 5 km obstacle routes, with one 5 km course being the most popular. The location places runners near significant landmarks such as Lake Aydat, the Chaîne des Puys UNESCO World Heritage site, the volcanic slopes of the Puy de Dôme, and Clermont-Ferrand. This setting allows for a race weekend in the Auvergne region, combining the obstacles with opportunities to explore volcanic landscapes, water features, and historic streets.
