I am extremely proud and honoured to be the ambassador for the Race Across Europe. I am really looking forward to helping it grow and develop.

The RACE (Race across Europe) is a once-in-a-lifetime cycling event featuring the very best of riding in Europe. This event requires exceptional teamwork, stamina, energy, strategy and humour to succeed. Don’t let ‘race’ put you off though. If you cycle in a team this challenge is achievable by most people. Those who finish can proudly say that they competed in, and completed, what we think is the hardest cycling event on earth.

The outline

Riders enter solo or in teams of 2, 4, 6 or 8 with a support crew. You can either organize your own support crew or delegate this to Greenrock.

Cyclists and their crews set off from Calais and cycle to Gibraltar along the route set by Greenrock, carrying a satellite tracking device which transmits the rider’s position every 5 minutes. The first team leave Calais on 11 June 2016. Cyclists will need to ride day and night to reach Gibraltar within the time limit.
