Your guide

Maxime Cazajous

A native of the country, Maxime lives in Nay, between Pau and L’Argalyde, at the foot of the mountains.

A former rugby player, Maxime started trail running out of love for the mountains. Throughout training and races, Maxime progresses until he tries his first long races. Throughout training and races, Maxime progresses until he tries his first long races.

He participated for the first time in La Diagonale des Fous in 2015 and immediately fell in love with this event. He then participates every year until reaching the podium in 2018 behind, excuse the little, Benoit Girondel and François D’Haene.
