throwback to a funny and crazy event
Funny show this Sunday near Toulouse. Several thousand participants for the Bulky games, an inflatable structure obstacle course. Slippery terrain with underlying laughter. A sporting course but without competition where the 3,500 participants let off steam.
The Interceltic Festival of Lorient 2022
The castle of Pontié in Cornebarrieu near Toulouse is still completely upside down. On this Sunday, several hordes of participants in warrior mode set off for a very special 5 km race.
Bulky games are not for grumps and grumps. Here we have fun, we struggle sometimes but always in a good mood. The concept was launched in Belgium (never late for good jokes) in 2018. A European tour was set up with 12 dates in France, the last of which was in Toulouse.
Between Intervilles and Ninja Warriors
In successive waves, the 3,500 participants set off this Sunday morning for a 5-kilometre race with an improbable course. It starts with a good warm-up before starting. We are between the Haka of the All Blacks and Véronique and Davina for those who remember it. The public is finally ready for departure.

No need to be a great sportsman but anti-susceptibility outfit required. All the obstacles in the race are inflatable structures inspired by what is done in the United States. To see, we are between Intervilles (without cows!) and Ninja Warriors.
All dressed in the organizers’ blue t-shirts, sometimes with a beautiful protruding tutu that highlights you, with friends or family, everyone is there to have fun.
There are slides (32 m long and 12 m high), jumping balls, pyramids, walls, holes, a jungle of fries to cross… Don’t be afraid to get your jersey wet and jump into the water.
As everywhere in France, the quest for pleasure makes many followers. In Toulouse, there were approximately 3,500 registrants who paid for their ticket between €29 and 42 depending on the date of registration.
One hour of madness for the fastest, a little more for the cautious, the concept has its followers. On arrival, the faces are sometimes defeated but radiant.
