Ent’Raid is a solidarity-focused association based in Angers, France, bringing together passionate runners and supporters around sport, adventure and a shared commitment to children with disabilities. Founded in 2002, the group uses challenging athletic events to raise funds and awareness for partner organisations working to support children and families. Its beneficiaries include Les Copains d’Elsa, which supports a child affected by Rett syndrome; Condenados Al Bordillo, which promotes sport and leisure for children with multiple disabilities; and La Maison de l’Autisme, a cooperative initiative involving professionals and families.

Throughout the year, Ent’Raid takes part in local races, sometimes accompanying disabled participants in adapted joëlettes, as well as in demanding long-distance and international challenges. Past projects have included cycling and running journeys between Angers and Dénia, mountain races, triathlons and other endurance events. The association also organises fundraising initiatives, including solidarity concerts, and works with business partners, sponsors and donors. Contributions help fund the supported associations, making athletic achievement a practical way to foster inclusion and improve lives.
