Mountains and Trees: the film tour. Come and see our new film, Mountains and Trees, at a screening near you. The Mountain Races came to life in Kyrgyzstan in 2018 with the inaugural edition of the @silkroadmountainrace . Since then, the series has developed into a collection of what are widely considered the most inspiring ultra distance races in the world. ‘Mountains and Trees’ takes a closer look at the person behind the races, Nelson Trees. The film explores why people attempt these types of races with no prizes, what they learn, and what they experience in the remote places that host the events. Join us in Zurich, Paris, Oregon, Bristol, Manchester, Sheffield, Aberfoyle, Budapest, Tolga, Athens, BAM! Europe (Italy) and more cities yet to be announced.

Applications for the first edition of Taurus Mountain Race close tomorrow, Friday January 16th at midnight GMT and we are incredibly excited to see what is shaping up to be one of our biggest women’s fields to date. With over 50+ women’s applications, we’d love to see even more on the start line. Hear from a few of the riders who’ve put their names forward to race this fall, and what it would mean to have an even bigger women’s field. Even if you are on the fence about racing, we encourage you to apply now as we do expect the event to be oversubscribed and we won’t be operating a waitlist. You can complete your application today by heading to the link in our bio or www.themountainraces.cc Supported by: @supernova__design @tailfincycling @albion.cycling @pertexfabric 📷 @stephenshelesky @lloydjwright @nils_laengner @ospreyimagery

We are proud to announce that @supernova__design will be supporting the inaugural edition of @taurusmountainrace It’s a real pleasure to collaborate with a company that sets the benchmark when it comes to bike lights, whether they be battery or dynamo powered. We’ve seen countless riders line up at the start line of one of the Mountain Races with Supernova lights and it’s great to be working with the best. These shots come from our last scouting trip for the inaugural edition of the race. This particular spot can be found at 37.3640, 34.5936 We’ll be keeping the full route under wraps until a few weeks before the start, but you’ll get some glimpses of what’s coming and enough information in the race manual to know what you’re getting yourself into if you do decide to sign up. The race covers 1460KM / 36,000m and will take place from 14-24 October 2026 Registration is now open and given the number of entries we’ve had so far, if you miss the deadline, there will be no chance of joining us in Turkiye this coming October so don’t be late!

Applications for the program inaugural edition of Taurus Mountain Race are now open. You can head to the link in our bio to complete yours until January 16th. Linked in the application process is our Race Manual. Please read it carefully as it contains all the information you’ll need to complete your application. At this stage we are only providing the distance between resupply points and checkpoints in order to keep as much of the route under wraps before October and discourage pre-riding. Racers will get the GPX file closer to the event date. Given the reception to what we’ve shared so far, this race may very well be over subscribed and successful applications will likely go into a lottery. We’ll notify those selected to race on January 23rd. We look forward to reviewing your applications! Supported by: @albion.cycling @pertexfabric @tailfincycling
