Hubert Auriol (1952 - 2021)

With great sadness we have learned of the passing of Hubert Auriol. The legend, a friend and an ambassador for adventure in general and recently for 80 Day Race.

When we asked Hubert to become involved in 80 Day Race, he told me ‘You are mad, I’ll join you.’ He was excited about the adventure, the new technology, and the opportunities for the next generation of adventurers. He was full of plans, always looking for new opportunities to leave a mark and inspire others to embrace the adventure.

That’s the spirit we will never forget and will continue to work on a sustainable future full of adventure and excitement in his honor.

We are going to miss him dearly, but we will never forget him. Thank you Hubert.
