3 stray dogs joined us on the start line in Mongolia this year to run 100 miles with our in our epic Mongol 100 ultramarathon (which you can also choose to bike or skate!)

We can’t wait to see them again when we head back in March 2025 as they were taken in by our Mongolian hosts ❤️

Maybe they’ll beat their PBs in 2025!

20% off our 2026 breathtaking desert adventure until the end of January (3 days left!). https://www.ratrace.com/race-to-the-wreck

Race to the wreck is an exclusive route through the Namib desert to the landlocked shipwreck the Eduard Bohlen on the Skeleton Coast.

You can take on this stunning journey in November 2026 in 2 different ways:

Fat bike and trek 300km
Run/trek 200km

“I have just taken part in Race To The Wreck in Namibia - what can I say, the most epic and incredible adventure. This is probably not for you if you don’t like extreme heat and sand - but your reward for tackling these annoyances will be crossing and experiencing one of the remotest, stunning places on the planet!

The organisation was top rate, from arrival, to briefings and course safety and support. The team both UK and local Namibian were first rate - food, camps, medical support, pit stop support, motivation, snacks - all fantastic.” Jo

The hardest adventure in our portfolio.

2 back to back road ultra marathon. 5.5 self supported days in the depths of the Panama jungle before pack rafting to the Caribbean for 1.5 days.

This life changing adventure returns in March 2026 and there are only 9 places left.

“Panama Coast to Coast: An event and adventure of a lifetime not to be taken lightly. There are no words that can truly describe the nine days of tarmac, jungle and water you get to experience on Panama Coast to Coast. However hard you think it might be, it’s harder. However much you trained you should have done more, and however much pre-admin you did your kit could have been better. Be under no illusion this adventure race will live with you forever and provide you with a sense of achievement that will last a lifetime. The support and event staff were excellent and the location is unmatched. I urge anybody looking to test themselves beyond their limits to book this event straight away.” Gary

The entire West Highland Way

It has been designed by our in-house team of runners for runners. Successfully operated in 2023 and 2024, it’ll soon be time for our 2025 to line up at Lands End this June before this epic event returns in 2027.

It was 5 weeks with all food, accomodation and logistics covered. Fantastic value for money. Fantastic team, couldn’t do enough for us, so helpful and lovely every single day. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. It’s an amazing adventure!” Susan

Test Pilots are designed to bring you along with the RR team to road test new event ideas or to be at the frontier of adventure and try the things nobody else has thought of doing.

Right now, a group of 10 are attempting to kayak the full circumference of Deception Island, an active volcano that sits in the Antarctic Peninsula. A whopping 50km paddle in one sitting as part of an Antarctic adventure they’ll never forget.

Oh and we’re going to chuck an ultramarathon in there too because it would be rude not to! 🏃🏻🥶

We can’t wait to take you along for the ride!

Test Pilot places are extremely limited for 2026 and 2027 departures. Check out the catalogue to see what adventures we’re cooking up 🌎 - https://www.flipsnack.com/CAE9B9FF8D6/test-pilot-2025-v4/full-view.html

3 reasons to add the Bahamas Exuma Traverse to your adventure plans for 2026 🛶

1. Your running/hiking/cycling fitness will translate into kayaking. Once you’ve learned a few paddling tips from our guides on the water with you, a general base level of fitness and some core strength will give you all you need to take on a multi-day kayak adventure. You do not need to have hours of kayaking experience under your belt. A class or 2 in advance will serve you well.

2. You explore places less travelled. If you have to get there by boat the chances are there won’t be many people around! From sleeping on desert islands to paddling alongside turtles, sting rays and swimming pigs, get ready for the most peaceful and beautiful journey in paradise.

3. The support vehicle is a private catamaran with chef and support crew onboard. I mean, does it get any cooler than that.

Our final adventure of 2024 has come to an end and what an adventure it was to top off the year! 😍

"Guatemala Sea to Summit is physically and mentally challenging and not for the faint-hearted. But when you stand on top of the highest volcano in Central America with everyone making that climb the emotion is raw…..tears, laughter…. It’s all shared, appreciated and humbling.

If you want to test your resilience and resolve, experience a country and its authenticity, in the knowledge you are completely supported by the experienced Rat Race team and meet incredible people then sign up - you will never regret it".
Sandra - 2024 participant

East Greenland is the epitome of remote. Inhabited by a tiny handful of Inuit scattered across a very few remote villages, the coastline here is only accessible for a few months a year when the sea-ice melts and reveals a labyrinth of iceberg-packed Fjords alongside huge glaciers tumbling into the sea. Behind them, jagged peaks stretch as far as the eye can see and then in the distance, the Greenland icecap looms for 1000s of km. The silence and peace of the place is matched only by its rugged beauty.

The scale of everything is unbelievable. Wildlife is abundant too, with the waters full of whales of all descriptions. Of course, the King of the Arctic, the mighty polar bear, is never far away too.

This trip is an utterly unique and totally expeditionary undertaking, comprising a kayak-based journey through the icebergs of the East Greenland Fjord system to reach vast hidden glaciers which the team will attempt to traverse in a self-contained trekking phase. This truly is a humbling experience beyond any other adventure we have ever offered.

Tierra Del Fuego, you were STUNNING 😍

Our Test Pilot's top highlights?

- Spectacular mountain passes with panoramic views across the snow-capped Andes
- Crossing the Paso Boquedano and Paso Garibaldi
- Visiting a King Penguin colony
- Endless stunning landscape and river valleys with SO many Guanaco!

- Unbelievable trekking around Ushuaia with stunning lakes, snowy peaks and an incredible ice cave
- Pristine 2 day packraft section where the team got to see beavers along the Rio Lasifashaj
- Getting to follow Ruta J on the final day of riding, the road to the end of the World!
- Getting to finish an adventure in Ushuaia, the Worlds most southern city!
