Damien Poirier-Boucard

Running, trail running, triathlon and mountains

Damien is the athlete of the bunch: running and trail running, triathlon, trekking, biking, and the mountains. He spends a huge amount of time outdoors, shares his race reports, and reviews our articles on endurance sports and mountain hiking.

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

On Outfarer, he writes about running and trail running, triathlon, trekking, biking, and the mountains on marked trails, and shares his race reports, always told in his own words. He reviews articles on these topics with the eye of someone who knows long distances and whole days of effort; “Reviewed by Damien Poirier” then appears in their bylines. His favorite topics: getting ready for a first trail race, choosing trail running gear, organizing a trek on marked trails, or stringing together the three legs of a triathlon.

Like the rest of the magazine, his writing relies on published, cited sources: race rules, sports federations, mountain rescue and mountain weather services, for gear, preparation, and safety. Anything that depends on your level or the day’s conditions is always pointed out.

He lives in western France, speaks English and Italian, and has a solid grounding in German and Dutch. His articles are kept up to date: when race rules, a marked trail, 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’s been part of the team since the magazine launched in 2026.
