TEN YEARS OF TRANSCONTINENTAL RACING
The Transcontinental Race is marking a major milestone this year as both organisers and participants prepare to embark on the tenth edition of ultra-cycling’s most iconic competition—and the team behind the event are even launching a book to commemorate the occasion. Born from the mind of late ultra-legend Mike Hall, the TCR held its inaugural event in 2013 with just 30 riders lining up to set out on a race that would soon reshape cycling. As we count down the days to the Transcontinental’s tenth grand départ, we caught up with the TCR team to reflect on the long, winding, and ongoing road they’ve spent the past decade navigating. Read our full interview below.

The start date for TCRNo10 is July 21st and will take riders from the cobbled streets of Roubaix to the banks of the Bosporus in Istanbul. It’s been our honor to help support the TCR since its earliest days. You can celebrate ten years of Transcontinental racing by pre-ordering the upcoming book or with the official TCR Cap.
