Five epic events—from the Cape Epic and Grinduro Scotland to the Death Ride Tour, Maratona dles Dolomiti, and the Transcontinental Race.

Epic Global Cycling Competitions Around the World

Cycling tours are an amazing way to challenge yourself on a bike—from African sand dunes to the green hills of Scotland.

Cape Epic

An eight-day mountain-bike stage race in South Africa’s Western Cape. Teams of two stay together to qualify; amateurs enter via lottery.

Grinduro Scotland

A gravel-road and mountain-bike hybrid with four timed segments. Celebrates both racing and the riding community with art, camping, music, and food.

Death Ride Tour

In the California Alps, crossing five mountain passes and tallying ~129 miles with 15,000+ feet of climbing—a true test.

Maratona dles Dolomiti

A single-day road race over seven passes in Italy’s Dolomites, drawing 9,000+ cyclists each year.

Transcontinental Race

A self-supported endurance race across Europe—timed from start to finish rather than in stages.

The Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, and Vuelta a España remain the most prestigious, but these events deliver incredible challenges across the globe.
