VIA - a 4,000 km unsupported ultracycling race across Europe organised by ultracyclists, for ultracyclists.

The Story So Far:

  • Chapter I (2024) retraced Hannibal’s bold crossing of the Alps—with 38 elephants —ending in southern Italy.
  • Chapter II (2025) followed Germanicus’ quest to recover Rome’s lost Eagles, from the Adriatic to the North sea, Italy to the Netherlands.
  • Chapter III (2026) pushes beyond Rome’s frontier into the legendary North, to the most breathtakingly beautiful places in the world.

In Chapters I and II, VIA riders have lived:
🌍 The adventure of a lifetime – exploring breathtaking, little-seen landscapes
⚡ Fierce competition – racing rivals and the challenging route
🤝 A true community – forging lifelong friendships that last far beyond the finish line, continuing into the next Chapters

The VIA team's mission: Creating Stories of Epic Journeys. Don't miss out.
