Kavval presentation: an innovative platform

The idea is part of a finding: the foot race is the most popular sport in France but only 20% of the followers put a dossard every year. Because? The joggers and joggers struggle to find races around them.

Three French, passionate about running and marathon, created a search engine specially designed for runners. Much more than offering the best events for running fans, Kavval invites you to rediscover France and its current heritage. The list of online events is spread across all departments, in places that are sometimes unrecognized. Kavval thus highlights everything it is possible to see and do before, during and after a race. Culture, gastronomy, landscape: the ideal way to combine sport and many other pleasures.

The innovative platform also stands out by the richness of its event directory. It has many races:

• all over France, including the most famous UTMB in Chamonix, Semi des Sources du Lac d’Annecy, Marathon de Deauville, La Ronde des Alpes Mancelles, Foulées des 4 Portes, Festival des Templiers, Marathon Royan-Côte de Beauté... ;

Kavval: How does it work?

To make accessible the practice of running, with courses adapted to the wishes and needs of each athlete, Kavval lists thousands of races throughout the country.

To allow you to find the right foot race, marathon or trail, the platform is based on specific search criteria.

The running and trail calendar allows you to identify events according to your schedule of time and availability.

The filter " Destinations » allows you to find a race close to your home or in the region of your choice:

At Wanderlix, we like the key to Kavval, which offers accessible content for each event to tell its story, describe the race environment and decrypt the routes. We also applaud the ambition of the three entrepreneurs. They are not cold in their eyes and want to develop beyond the French borders.

In addition, they little by little wish to identify other related disciples such as triathlon, obstacle courses and orientation races. Finally, we also recommend Kavval for its values: developing access to sport for all, promoting environmentally friendly practice and supporting committed associations.
