What is the Race Across America?

A 3,000-plus mile trip from Oceanside, CA, to Annapolis, MD

The RAAM is considered to be the single toughest race in

the world. It eclipses the mileage ridden in the Grand

Tours of Cycling, including the Tour de France, all on a

compressed time frame.

What is the Race Across America?

“ Racers dread the first day of RAAM more than any other. The Sonoran Desert, like its cousin the Mojave to the north, is one of Mother Nature’s cruelest and most feared environments. This first part of the course is a death zone. The scorching heat, desiccating air, and windswept sand produce a discouraging number of DNFs [Did Not Finish], even among race favorites.”1
