Self-supported, single-stage, ultra-distance races across Europe. Simple in design, complex in execution.
Our storySelf-reliance, logistics, navigation and decision-making burden racers' minds as well as their bodies.
The strongest excel and redefine what we think possible, while many experienced riders target only a finish. Every race is run under the same Rules and Spirit of the Race: riders plan their own way, carry what they need and find the rest on the road.
The Spirit of the Race →The self-supported bike race across Europe. Around 4,000 km between four mandatory control points.
The race criss-crossing the mountains: up to 2,000 km of the Pyrenees' most spectacular and remote roads, coast to coast and back again.
Our 1,600 km fixed-route Balkan off-road race, now on two loops. The new South loop takes riders through Albania, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Greece.
A 1,200 km race for women, non-binary and trans riders, with relaxed time allowances. In 2027 it runs from Porto to Málaga.
Mike Hall founded the Transcontinental Race in 2013. He was a celebrated ultra-distance racer who felt passionately about an individual's right to autonomy, and the powerful impact of adventure and self-discovery.
After Mike died in 2017, Lost Dot was created to continue the race in his legacy. Every race we run still follows his founding principles.
