Welcome to The Accursed Race. Lost Dot's no-fly, off-road, fixed route race in the Balkans.

Tune in for covert rider and wildlife spotting with the media team, as they double down on their commitment to staying out of sight. At various resupply points, we are treated to storytime, with riders describing differing sleeping strategies and locations, the good, the bad, and the uncomfortable. As riders experience the beauty of various national parks in the area, they also experience their sparse expanses. When they do encounter people along their journey, they are met with a warm-hearted kindness that transcends any language barrier.

 

We invite you to follow along with our Race coverage through this daily podcast, our daily race reports, and on The Accursed Instagram.
