— About

We race because the route asks for it.

The team began in 2026 as four friends who kept showing up at the same start lines in Arkansas, Colorado and the Ozarks. We weren't sponsored. We weren't fast. We just kept finishing things that other people, sensibly, did not.

Today we are six riders racing across five continents. The shape of the team has changed. The rule has not: every kilometre is yours, every decision is yours, every consequence is yours.

We don't think that makes us braver than anyone else. We think it makes the racing honest. The clock doesn't lie, and neither does an empty water bottle at kilometre three hundred.

— Principles

The Four Rules.

00

No support

No team cars, no soigneurs, no caches. Riders carry, fix and feed themselves from start to finish line.

02

Fixed routes

We follow the official course. Shortcuts are not faster — they're a DNF.

00

Open data

Every ride we do is public. Tracks, splits, mistakes. Especially the mistakes.

04

Leave it better

We pack out everything we pack in. We tip cafés generously and we don't argue at borders.

Want to ride with us?

We open one or two roster spots per season. If you've finished a self-supported race over 1,000 km, we want to hear from you.
