Tibo InShape, Domingo, Zack Nani, Océane Andréa… Which content creators could make a name for themselves on Clem Qui Court's backyard?

This Friday, November 6, one of the most anticipated events on the trail calendar takes place: "Les 25 heures qui courent", a race organized by Clem Qui Court in a backyard ultra format. Each of the 100 participants has to complete a 5.7 km loop (150 m of climbing and descent) in under an hour. A new start is given every hour, and runners who haven't finished the previous loop in time, or who choose not to go back out, are eliminated.

Billed as "the biggest backyard on the Internet", the event dreamed up by Clément Deffrenne, aka Clemquicourt, aims to bring together two worlds that are now closely intertwined: ultra-trail and content creation.

Clément Deffrenne, aka Clem Qui Court, didn't pick the creators at random. Most of them have a connection, stronger or weaker, to running or trail. Some could even surprise us this weekend. Here's a look at the creators who could make their mark on the backyard.

Tibo InShape

France's biggest YouTuber will be at the start of the 25 heures qui courent. The bodybuilding creator isn't likely to be there just for show. A dedicated runner, the man with 27 million YouTube subscribers finished the 2025 Paris Marathon in under 4 hours (3:59:09). Last April, he opened up about his running on Safe Pace, the endurance sports podcast hosted by Hugo Clément. In that episode, he said he runs twice a week, one easy run and one interval session. He was also candid about his motivation to get out the door: "It's never fun at first when I start a run". He's used to running on a treadmill, but there's no doubt Tibo InShape will dig deep, he who keeps telling his followers to push their limits and get out of their comfort zone.

Joggeuse

Behind the handle Joggeuse is Joséphine Bayle, one of France's most followed running creators, with nearly 300,000 followers on Instagram and almost as many on TikTok. She launched her account in February 2024, but running has been part of her life for much longer: she discovered it with her family, did track and field from age 12 to 17, then took up running again in 2022. That same year, she finished her first marathon in Paris. She has improved a lot since: her marathon PB is 2:56:27 and she has run a 1:21 half marathon. She isn't just a road runner either. She finished the 2024 SaintéLyon as 13th woman in 8:41, and took 62nd at the OCC at UTMB this summer. Her profile really took off in May 2025 with an out-of-the-ordinary project: running from Paris to Milan, 950 kilometers and more than 14,000 m of elevation gain in 25 days. Her trademark is a very close relationship with her community, whom she motivates with simplicity and good humor. She's now preparing an even crazier challenge: linking Paris to Los Angeles before the 2028 Olympics, by running to Lisbon, crossing the Atlantic and then crossing the United States on a gravel bike. With a profile that mixes road speed and long-distance endurance, she and her bib 78 could well be among the creators who last.

Domingo

Real name Pierre-Alexis Bizot, the streamer has more than 600k followers on Instagram and 2 million on Twitch. Domingo is one of the most anticipated faces among the creators on the backyard. He's not an ultra-trail runner, but he has already turned sport into a playground for his community. At Z-Event 2019, he promised to run a marathon in under 4 hours if the charity pot reached 200,000 euros, a bet he honored two years later. He smashed the target, finishing the marathon in 3:24. Since then, he has become an organizer of sporting events between streamers: l'Échappée, a bike race promised during Z Event 2020 if donations hit 150,000 euros, contested by 8 streamers on Zwift, then Big 9, a running event whose second edition, on May 29, 2022, was held as part of Run for the Oceans. For the backyard, his stated goal is 12 loops, or 68.4 km. We'll see if he goes beyond that.

Zack Nani

Originally from Lyon, Zack Nani is one of France's most followed content creators, with nearly two million followers. Real name Zakaria Haddad, he's best known for his talk show "Zack en roue libre", launched in 2017, and for his live football match streams on Twitch and YouTube. But he's no newcomer to running. In 2024, he took on the challenge of finishing the Paris Olympic Games Marathon for All after eight months of training under Dorian Louvet, a top-level marathoner and Koh-Lanta alumnus. At the finish, he said he had never been through anything so hard, and even shed a few tears. He has since developed a taste for the distance: he now has four marathons to his name, including Tokyo and London. On Clem Qui Court's backyard, he will wear bib 21. His stated goal, on the card unveiled by the event's Instagram account, is 8 loops, or 45.6 km, a little more than a marathon.

Océane Andréa

Based in New York and originally from Portugal, Océane Andréa, nicknamed "La Portos", is a content creator who shares her passion for running. Between half marathon training tips, motivational videos and her podcast "Chez Nous", she relies on authenticity and good humor to inspire her community to live an active life. She has just finished her 6th marathon, New York, and is now heading into a format that's new to her: she has never run a backyard before. She'll also have to deal with the climbing on the loop, something she likes less than flat courses. It remains to be seen how far her good mood and her marathon consistency can take her. Her stated goal is 11 loops.

Olivier Maria Ultra

On the start line, he's hard to miss: Olivier Maria runs in sandals. This runner from Lille, wearing bib 47, is passionate about ultra-endurance. He discovered minimalist running through his reading, notably the book Born to Run, and never looked back. He is also the author of a book on the ketogenic diet, which plays a key role in his preparation. His results show that sandals are no handicap: he ran his first sub-3 marathon, 2:58:18, in 2023 with his first pair of sandals. He also finished UTMB 2024 in 35:46, that's 170 km and 9,525 m of elevation gain, in sandals. His latest big feat dates from April 2026: he went from Dunkirk to Marseille in 10 days, 11 hours and 50 minutes, covering 1,134 km on foot after a first attempt cut short in 2025. One factor even he can't control: snow is possible on the course this weekend, which could add difficulty, especially with sandals on his feet. With that in mind, Olivier Maria has packed tall, thick socks to protect his feet. Last September, he tried the backyard format and completed 20 laps, or 136 km. So will "the guy who runs in flip-flops" hit his stated goal of 25 loops this time? We'll know Saturday!

Gaspacho

A Lille native and LOSC supporter since childhood, Gaspard Degryse, aka Gaspacho, is a runner like no other. A fitness coach and former Muay Thai fighter, he took up running only recently, after closing the chapter on his fighting career. He made his name with a concept as simple as it is crazy: after every Ligue 1 match, he runs ten kilometers for each goal Lille scores. His runs take place around the Pierre Mauroy stadium, in 700-meter laps. After a big LOSC win over Metz (6-1), he strung together more than 60 kilometers, a feat that earned him a nice hit on TikTok. Last season, his tally reached 557 km without a single meter of elevation gain. That taste for big volume doesn't stop him from having real times on the board: he has a 33:57 10K PB. This season, he has changed playgrounds a little and goes looking for climbing in the mining basin, a way to prepare for the terrain of a trail course. He's no newcomer to loop formats either: at the end of September, he ran 20 laps on another backyard, a first experience that could serve him well.

Alban Pellegrin

A well-known figure in the French running community, Alban Pellegrin turns up at every race and is very present on social media, where his encouragement has become a trademark. This Lyon native, a former Koh-Lanta contestant, made 2025 his year with an out-of-the-ordinary project: running 72 marathons in 72 days, from Bray-Dunes to Lauterbourg, linking the four cardinal points of France. He covered 3,200 kilometers and raised more than 30,000 euros for a charity. Each evening, he had to find a host family for dinner and a bed, which gave his challenge a human dimension. The journey, undertaken in tribute to his mother, who died in 2023, gave birth to a book, "J'ai couru chez vous", published on October 14. On Clem Qui Court's backyard, his stated goal is 20 loops, or 114 km, a challenge that looks within reach for bib 16.

Pablo Brimeux

Content creator Pablo Brimeux shares his daily life, his humor and his passion for football on social media. That passion even took him to the United States, where he went to study. But football isn't his only playground! Bib 49 has also started making a name for himself on the trails. He lined up at the Intégrale des Causses at the 2026 Festival des Templiers, finishing in 8:49:41, 239th overall. A solid long-trail experience before tackling something very different: the backyard. For this adventure, Pablo Brimeux has set an ambitious goal of 20 loops, or 134.12 km. We'll see if the man with almost 600k followers has the legs to match his ambitions.
