RAD RACE 96 HOURS
is a personal challenge.
Not so much a race.
It’s about pushing your own limits in unknown territory.
No crowds.
Just you and the road ahead.

The Ultimate
Bikepacking
Adventure

RAD RACE 96 HOURS is an unsupported bikepacking journey. With this event the adventure is entirely in your hands. Ride it competitive, take it easy or anything in between. It's about the freedom of exploration, the thrill of the road, and the challenge of self-reliance. You decide the comfort level of your nights. Under the stars or 4 star hotel - your choice.

96 HOURS. Are you ready for the adventure?

Discovering Together

600 km – 9000 moa

The Balkan Bash Edition takes us off the grid: Podgorica to Split

You will be covering 600 km with +/-9000 meters of elevation gain. Right through Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia’s wild landscapes until you reach the Adriatic coast. You will not travel on closed roads, so it’s essential to obey local traffic laws at all times.

You decide where you sleep or if you sleep at all. Stop for dinner or chuck another gel. All out on the drops or detour to the lake.

We really made an effort to find a gravel track which allows you to roll rather than hike your bike. When in doubt we opted for asphalt over MTB single trails.

Podgorica, vibrant capital of Montenegro, is the perfect starting point for the RAD RACE 96HOURS Balkan Bash.

After learning how challenging the 2024 track really was, we focused on the task of finding a true gravel track that prioritizes fun over toughness and rolling over roughness for the 2025 96HRS Balkan bash.
Sport your official event shirt, a badge of honor for completing the 96-hour adventure. Exclusively produced for you. Nice!
Mechanical support and technical assistance will be provided by our in-house RAD RACE SHOP Mechanics at both the start and finish lines. We’ll try to ensure that your bikes are adventure-ready with pre-ride checks and quick fixes — no open-heart surgery though, just solid bike care!
Stay connected through GPS live tracking, sharing the adventure with loved ones and fellow cyclists in real-time.
Focus on the ride; we'll handle the logistics. We can transport your bike bag and hand luggage from Podgorica to Split for your convenience.
As a proud finisher, you’ll receive an official RAD RACE 96 HOURS bag filled with some nice goodies – a token of appreciation for your journey.
We try to come up with a proper finisher camp that will allow us to camp all together and wait for the last riders to arrive (fingerscrossed). If it works out, you can pop up your tents for a post-ride gathering – whether it's to celebrate, relax, or wait for friends.

Tracking

& dot watching

Look, mom – I'm on an adventure

You will be equipped with GPS trackers for the event. Other riders and your loved ones at home can follow your way along the track. This also adds extra security, because the tracker will still work when your cell phone is out of service. So we'll always keep an eye on you.
