Race The World Cycling

#RaceTheWorld is the first supported team cycling race, taking amateur riders to unique and stunning locations around the globe.

A simple idea. A chance to make history. Race the World is the first supported team cycling race, taking amateur riders to unique and stunning locations around the globe. It is more than an adventure: it is an opportunity to challenge yourself on a route unlike any other.

· Two weeks of back-to-back cycling

· A team challenge utilising individuals’ strengths and goals

· Discovering remote and stunning locations only accessible on two wheels

For a unique route, we needed great partners for the essential parts of the journey – bike, tyres, kit. We are really pleased to be working with Haglöfs, Schwalbe and Wilier Triestina
