Damien Poirier-Boucard

Running, trail running, triathlon and mountains

Damien is the sporty one of the bunch: running and trail running, triathlon, trekking, cycling and the mountains. He spends a huge amount of time outdoors, shares his race reports and reviews our articles on endurance sport and mountain walking.

Several ultra-trail races, marathons, all kinds of obstacle races and, above all, triathlon: Damien loves effort, adrenaline and pushing his limits. He runs, cycles, hikes and goes trekking, and spends a huge amount of time training outdoors. He also has a soft spot for motorsport.

On Outfarer, he writes about running and trail running, triathlon, trekking, cycling and the mountains on waymarked routes, and shares his race reports, always told in his own words. He reviews articles in these areas with the eye of someone who knows long distances and whole days of effort; ‘Reviewed by Damien Poirier’ then appears in their bylines. His favourite subjects: preparing for a first trail race, choosing trail-running kit, organising a trek on waymarked paths or stringing together the three disciplines of a triathlon.

Like the rest of the magazine, his writing rests on published, cited sources: race regulations, sports federations, mountain rescue and mountain weather services, for kit, preparation and safety. Anything that depends on your level or on the conditions on the day is always flagged.

He lives in the west of France, speaks English and Italian, and has a good grounding in German and Dutch. His articles are kept up to date: when race regulations, a waymarked route or a season changes, or a reader reports a mistake, the article is reviewed and expanded, and the update date appears under the headline; any factual correction is noted at the bottom of the page. He has been part of the team since the magazine launched in 2026.
