For its 5th edition, Race Across Paris returns with a completely redesigned course.
With Pierre Lugat at the helm, take a behind-the-scenes look at a meticulously crafted route, where every kilometer has been designed to ride, feel the excitement… and enjoy to the fullest.

Race Across Switzerland is a unique event within the Race Across Series.
Here, ultra distance is not only measured in kilometers or elevation gain, but in the ability to read the mountain, manage effort, and endure in a demanding environment.
Authentic alpine routes, total immersion in the heart of the Swiss and Italian Alps, and a confident vision of self-supported ultra-cycling—no free kilometers, no gimmicks.

The 500 km and 300 km formats of the GRAAALPS offer a direct immersion into the alpine world.
Here, there are no unnecessary detours: the mountains are omnipresent, the terrain sets the pace, and each pass becomes a key moment in the journey.

Designed as loops starting from Crans-Montana, these routes offer a clear sense of adventure without ever reducing the intensity. They feature a series of iconic climbs, high-altitude gravel trails, and panoramic views of the highest peaks in the Alps.

Crossing the Alps by bike is not simply a question of miles or elevation gain.
It is a total immersion in a mountain range that can never be tamed, only crossed with humility.

With GRAAALPS 2026, each route tells a different story, but they all share the same promise: riding where the mountains are still raw, wild, and vertical. From gravel trails suspended above legendary passes to secret valleys and exposed ridges, the route traces a direct line across the Alps—the real ones, the ones that command silence, respect, and sustained effort.

The Race Across Series unveils for the first time a route entirely dedicated to the Benelux, an iconic region for Northern European cycling and the birthplace of strong traditions combining Ardennes hills, steep-sided valleys, long plains, and a rich brewing culture.
With four formats— 1,000 km, 500 km, 300 km, and 200 km (including a 200 km By Night) —Race Across Benelux is becoming one of the major new events on the ultra-distance calendar in Europe.

This latest edition of the Race Across Paris promises to be a breathtaking adventure, transforming the City of Light into a vast adventure playground for cycling enthusiasts, offering a striking route through the iconic avenues, picturesque alleyways and green spaces for which the city is famous.

Discover the official routes of the Race Across France 2026: five distances ranging from 200 to 2,500 km, from the Basque Country to the Mediterranean, through France's legendary mountain passes and iconic landscapes.
