IWe’re into the final stretch. From 27 September to 10 October 2026, Corsica will host the largest Adventure Racing event the world has ever seen — and we couldn’t be prouder to stand alongside the athletes as the event’s official care partner.

The Scale of It All

This isn’t a race. It’s the ultimate test of human endurance:

• 500 km non-stop

• 20,000 m of vertical elevation gain

• 6 to 8 days of continuous, self-sufficient effort

• Multi-discipline navigation: Trekking, mountain biking, kayaking, packrafting, and abseiling across relentless terrain

World Class Field

400 elite athletes representing 30 nations — from the United States and New Zealand to Japan and South Africa — will take to the start line. The field features five of the world’s top ten teams, including reigning champions 400Team Altore, who will be racing to defend their title on home soil.

As the official care partner, our support doesn’t start or stop in Corsica. We back these athletes throughout the entire Adventure Racing World Series, and this World Championship is the culminating test.

Over six to eight days of relentless racing, campaigns usually fail for one of two reasons: gear breakdown or body breakdown. That’s where we come in.

Our bike care products are built to keep drivetrains and components performing through the mountain bike legs, where mud, salt air, and relentless elevation put equipment under constant strain. And with days of continuous movement across trekking, kayaking, packrafting and biking, chafing isn’t a minor discomfort — it’s a race-ender. Our Barrier Balm is formulated to protect athletes from start to finish, so the focus stays on the race, not on skin breakdown at kilometre 300.

Supporting the world’s best adventure racers across an entire season — and now through six to eight days of non-stop effort at the World Championship — puts our products through exactly the kind of extreme test they’re built for. We’ll be with every team, at every transition, in every discipline.

Community, Coverage, and Countdown

Beyond the racing, the towns of Corte and L’Île-Rousse are gearing up to bring the whole community into the event — from the Parade of Nations and prologue, through to team finishes and the Closing Ceremony. Course reconnaissance across all 12 sections is complete, safety procedures are validated, and more than 25 partners (us included) are helping deliver what’s shaping up to be a landmark moment for adventure racing.

Once the racing starts, you can follow every team’s progress in real time — known to the adventure racing community as “dot watching.”
