XLETIX Kids: The obstacle course for young budding adventurers!

Do you think an obstacle course is just for adults seeking glory and physical suffering? ๐Ÿค  Think again! Recently, XLETIX, this famous extreme race, decided to open its doors to the younger ones. Welcome to the world of XLETIX Kids๐Ÿ‘ง, a sporting challenge that promises to mix laughter, funny faces, and physical challenges for kids aged 5 to 15. But whatโ€™s behind this adventure already delighting many youngsters? โค๏ธ

The XLETIX spirit: For the mini world champions! ๐Ÿ†

When we talk about XLETIX, we immediately think of muddy, exhausted adults, covered in mud and sometimes ๐Ÿ˜…, full of lost dignity. But at XLETIX Kids, the goal is to create a fun ๐ŸŽ‡, playful, and accessible experience for the little ones (kind of like doing what mom or dad does!) Itโ€™s a bit like a commando course, but in a โ€œlittle oneโ€ version with adapted obstacles ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ, shorter courses! The idea is to make this type of event accessible to families because, of course, the kiddos are accompanied by adults! ๐Ÿ‘ฏโ€โ™‚๏ธ

You can forget all the principles of a simple footrace; here, we're talking about obstacle races galore: mud pits ๐Ÿท, foam parties ๐Ÿง–โ€โ™€๏ธ, water slides, and courses that require climbing, crawling, or jumping! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ All this under a radiant sun ๐ŸŒž or a pouring rain, sorry, we don't choose the weather! ๐ŸŒง๏ธ Well, maybe not rain all the time, but with the kids, anything is possible! The little ones will have to roll up their sleeves and be ready for anything ๐Ÿ’ช. But hey, for once they can roll in the mud to their heart's content, why not take advantage of it? ๐Ÿ˜œ

Present in France ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ต and in Belgium ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช, you can find several races in different places. Paris, Brussels, and Lyon are the 3 cities hosting this must-attend event! ๐ŸŽฝ Once you know where you and the children will be staying, you'll need to choose a distance! On the menu, 2 choices: the ACTION race includes 5 to 6 km with children facing twenty various obstacles ๐Ÿšง. The FUN race is 2 to 3 km and slightly reduces the number of obstacles, with about a dozen on the course ๐ŸŽ. Itโ€™s an ideal race for those starting their relationship with running! ๐Ÿ’ The children are guided from start to finish, and they can take on the challenge with 1 or 2 adults (1 minimum). Adults can accompany up to 3 children๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ

XLETIX also organizes events in Germany ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช and Switzerland ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ since 2021, with over 300,000 participants in these unique challenges. They invite Belgian and French families to join this growing adventure! โ€œAt XLETIX Kids, we believe that shared experiences create stronger bonds than any giftโ€, explains Caro Tonn, organizer of XLETIX Kids. โ€œBy tackling a challenge together, parents and children get to know each other differently. The result is not only fun for the day itself but also creates memories to cherish for years to come.โ€ ๐Ÿคฉ
