About

Equinox Sun Race is an ultra-endurance, self-supported ride designed to coincide with the autumnal equinox. Riders cover hundreds of kilometers of mixed terrain, including gravel tracks, forest trails, and rural roads, often riding in extended daylight and early nightfall. The race emphasizes not just distance, but the art of pacing and resource management: participants must plan meals, water, and rest while navigating unfamiliar routes largely on their own. The changing seasons add a dynamic element to the experience, as riders encounter fluctuating weather, shifting temperatures, and variable daylight hours. Beyond the physical challenge, Equinox Sun Race provides a meditative and immersive journey, allowing riders to connect deeply with the rhythm of the land and their own endurance limits. The combination of technical terrain, long distances, and self-reliance makes it a compelling adventure for experienced ultra-cyclists.
