From the Organizer

In 2026 The Longest Day Will be exploring a new region of the Adirondack Mountains in New York. This will be a 24 hour event held in the heart of one of the largest parks in the US. Teams of 2 - 4 will experience world class single track mountain biking, incredible navigation through forests and over mountains, and exciting wilderness packrafting.

This race is built to challenge the toughest adventure racers but also give new folks the chance to experience a longer race format. On this course many of the checkpoints will be optional with a fewer number of mandatory points to make sure that everyone gets across the finish line together.

Unfortunately our permitting does not allow for solo racers for this event.

The course we designed will be a challenge both for experienced racers and new folks alike so don’t shy away if you’re just starting out in AR, we’ve got something for everyone!

Race Course Highlights:

• Strategic route planning

• Pre-plotted maps

• Scenic and challenging terrain

• Killer post-race feed

This year’s race will take place in brand new AR territory. So get ready for an amazing adventure in a brand new venue!

Since 2026 will feature packrafting, boats will NOT be provided by the race organization. We are requiring all teams to provide their own packrafts for the event.  We are passing this savings onto the participants with lower entry fees for 2026

About This Sport

Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it’s the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer’s event page.

Adventure racing strings together trekking, mountain biking, and paddling — with navigation by map and compass — across a course you have to find as much as finish. Most events are raced as a team, often over many hours or even multiple days.

It rewards the all-rounder and the problem-solver as much as the pure athlete: route choice, teamwork, and staying steady when you're tired and off the map are as much the challenge as the miles.

Adventure Racing

Trek, mountain bike, and paddle with navigation between checkpoints — from a few hours to multi-day expeditions, usually in teams.
