In 2026 The Longest Day Will be exploring a new region of the Adirondack Mountains in New York. This will be a 24 hour event held in the heart of one of the largest parks in the US. Teams of 2 - 4 will experience world class single track mountain biking, incredible navigation through forests and over mountains, and exciting wilderness packrafting.

This race is built to challenge the toughest adventure racers but also give new folks the chance to experience a longer race format. On this course many of the checkpoints will be optional with a fewer number of mandatory points to make sure that everyone gets across the finish line together.

Unfortunately our permitting does not allow for solo racers for this event.

The course we designed will be a challenge both for experienced racers and new folks alike so dont shy away if youre just starting out in AR, weve got something for everyone!
