Welcome to day 8 of the 2024 Silk Road Mountain Race.
Today brings a full men’s podium and an unforgettable climb up the infamous Soviet Road. Starting the day at the peaceful CP2 yurt camp, riders faced a brutal 20% grade ascent that many were eager to put behind them. As the day progressed, we shifted focus to those still en route to CP2, fighting to make the cutoff in an inspiring display of resilience.

Welcome to day 7 of the Hellenic Mountain Race. While the vast majority of our riders have reached Nafpaktos, we still have a handful of riders out on course battling the snail in hopes of making the finishers party on Saturday evening. In the small village of Kastania, there's a surprise oasis in the form of a restaurant run by locals Dimitra and George. It's been a haven for riders in their final stretch of the journey and we thought it would be the perfect place to post up for the day chat with riders.
