Nicolas Sarganis-Bourdon

29 years old

Just two years ago, Nicolas Sarganis-Bourdon began making sport a real part of his everyday life. Since then, he has completed six half marathons, a marathon and his first 60 km ultra. He shares that progression with authenticity and humour, with one goal in mind: inspire others to get moving and give themselves permission to take on new challenges.

An aviation professional and student in the field, Nicolas balances a busy career, an active social life and his training. He represents a new generation of athletes who aren’t necessarily chasing performance at all costs, but rather personal growth, balance and the enjoyment that comes from making progress.

At 29, he will take on the UTHC 42 km Saint-Siméon this year as his next major trail-running challenge.

His role as an ambassador also carries a deeply personal meaning. Nicolas hopes to use his UTHC journey to support the multiple sclerosis cause, a disease that touched his family closely with the passing of his mother.

Through his journey and his @flyavecnico community, Nicolas carries a simple message: it’s never too late to start moving, take on a challenge and discover where the adventure can lead.
