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

Join us for a TARNo2 huddle, and get the lay of the land ahead of tomorrow’s start in Shkodër. The Lost Dot team give insight into the race, its raucous route, and its no-fly policy and the ethos behind it. Meanwhile, the Accursed Express bus, filled with riders, volunteers, and media team members, grows closer to the Albanian Alps, as race reporter Tom Probert interviews its passengers. 

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