Born from a world-first multi-sport traverse of Madeira, an adventure like no other.

Knife-edge ridgelines plunging into the Atlantic to jungle-green trails, epic kayaking crossings and adrenaline-fuelled mountain bike descents, this coast-to-coast journey defines what Rat Race is all about. Three years in the making and entirely unique, the route spans the island end-to-end, taking in the legendary summit of Pico Ruivo and the famous peak-to-peak trails along Madeira’s dramatic interior. This collection is a badge of honour for those who live for big terrain, big days and unforgettable adventures.
