🎥 THE WORLD OF ADVENTURE RACING GATHERS IN CORSICA

From September 27 to October 10, 2026, Corsica will host the world’s largest adventure racing event. On the agenda: 500 km non-stop, nearly 20,000 m of elevation gain, and 6 to 8 days of competition between the sea and the mountains, entirely self-supported. Hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, packrafting, and rappelling will make up this exceptional course.
Organized by Pascal and Nancy Bahuaud, major players on the world circuit for over twenty years, the Adventure Racing World Championship (ARWC 2026) will bring together the international elite: 400 athletes, 28 nations, and five of the world’s top ten teams, including the 2024 World Champions, the French of 400Team Altore, ready to defend their title on home turf.

BACK TO NATURE: A RACE, A COMMITMENT

Since 2007, every edition has begun with a commitment: the signing of an environmental charter by the runners and partners. Much more than just a set of rules, it serves as a reminder that the adventure is only worthwhile if it respects the regions that host it.
For the ARWC 2026, this “Back To Nature” charter was drafted by Antoine Orsini, professor of hydrobiology at the University of Corsica and president of the Organizing Committee. It embodies a strong conviction: nature is not a playground, but our most precious partner.

COMMITTED PARTNERS FOR AN EXCEPTIONAL ADVENTURE

The 2026 ARWC is made possible by the commitment of partners who share our vision of responsible sports and a vibrant region.
The Collectivité de Corse, our main partner, the Corsican Tourism Agency, the cities of Corte and L’Île-Rousse, as well as our major partners Hertz and Altore, are helping to make this World Championship an international showcase for Corsica. Together, we are bringing to life an adventure founded on excellence, sharing, and respect for nature
