An experience of freedom

One of the toughest adventure races in the world

We are a few devoted fans of hike & fly races who decided to design one for our Pyrenees mountains, our own version of the hardest adventure race in the world.

Starting on June 23th 2024, 48 teams will try to traverse the Pyrenees, reaching the waypoints that the organisation has determined. Waypoints that could be on the highest mountains, or the deepest valleys. Starting at the Bay of Biscay and finishing by the Mediterranean coast.

Pilots must always carry the minimum amount of equipment with them. It consists of: glider, harness, parachute, helmet, mobile phone and live tracking equipment.

There are no stages, pilots can be on the move 14 hours a day.

First in goal wins. From that moment the remaining pilots have until Saturday to reach goal.

All in all, a big adventure. Anybody wishing to follow the race will find live information, via the web. With pilot’s positions, in 3D, on a full map. Pictures, videos, interviews, everything necessary to bring supporters into the adventure.

9 waypoints along the Pyrenees, coast to coast. Be prepared, check the route updates often.

48 highly qualified pilots, 48 steadfast assistants. Everyone will give their best. Browse through all the teams, and make your bet on the winner!
