A dream destination: Corsica

From September 27 to October 10, 2026, Adventure Racing will cross the Mediterranean to settle in Corsica, the host land of the Adventure Racing World Championship. Designed with discovery in mind, the course will explore the Island of Beauty over a journey of approximately 500 km. Start city: Corte. Finish city: L’Île Rousse.

Between these two points, a non-stop expedition awaits in trek, mountain biking, kayaking, packrafting… traversing North to South and East to West across this unique land.

“What an incredible emotion to prepare this race! We want it to be authentic, encouraging a respectful discovery of the island’s natural landscapes and true to our baseline, Back to Nature, which perfectly reflects our commitment to staying close to the very essence of non-stop racing: an immersive, team-based expedition. What could be more “magic” than this Island of Beauty to host the World Championship! We are proud to prepare such a challenge and thrilled about the months ahead, entirely dedicated to bringing this extraordinary adventure to life,” says Pascal Bahuaud, race director of the ARWC 2026.
