Known for their quirky UK and European based adventures and once in a lifetime international bucket list challenges, Rat Race are bringing their own unique take on multi-sport endurance challenges to North America. The company already organize a number of sell-out events across the globe and now have big plans for the American and Canadian domestic market.

As well as expanding the current U.S. events on the company’s roster (City to Sea in Miami and Source to City in New York), Rat Race have plans to introduce at least six more multi day excursions and are looking for people to join them in pioneering the routes before the events go on sale to the public on their innovative Test Pilot programme.
