2024 edition – there is no time limit.

NCT 2024

The tracking won’t stop until the last rider crosses the finish line!

The fastest route time, an unbeatable 21 days, still stands! The longest, set during the last edition, is 100 days.

Will these records be broken next summer?

The upcoming edition will begin precisely one-minute past midnight on June 20th.

Amazing journey and life experience!

The last rider crossed the finish. 7400km completed!

Congratulations to you Lawrence on your amazing journey and life experience!

“This is the toughest and the longest unsupported cycling race in the world. It’s a three month long journey and an adventure of a lifetime. Words cannot express how I am feeling now, or what I have experienced in a single post. There were a lot of ups and downs in this journey. Nothing is easy and I have learned a lot. This race had made me a tougher person and cyclist”
