unreferenced date March 2012 The Raid Gauloises or The Raid is considered by many weasel word date March 2012 to be the first modern adventure race and was first held in 1989. Its creator, Gerald Fusil , took the existing concept of long distance endurance races, and focused on the team aspects, requiring each competitor to be part of a five person co ed team. The Raid had no set course, with competitors being required to rely on their wits and judgment to reach the specified checkpoints. The Raid was named after its original sponsor, the Gauloises Gauloises Cigarette Company . In 1998, Fusil left the Raid to begin a new adventure race series, the Elf Authentic Adventure. 2003 was the last year for the Raid Gauloises. In 2004 the Raid Gauloises was retooled into the Raid World Championship.
