The Trans-European Race, London to Istanbul, Summer 2026!

Get ready for an unforgettable summer adventure as The Trans European Race returns.

Three years after our very first race, we are bringing back our original flagship event, a full scale journey from London to Istanbul. Like the previous Istanbul event, this race will have a spy theme to sink your teeth into along the way. The checkpoints will not be the same as the first time around though.

Up to 200 entrants will set off together in one grand start, creating an electric atmosphere from the moment the race begins.

The race will begin on a Sunday in London, giving you Saturday to travel in without needing to use annual leave. Expect a scenic and adventurous route that winds through multiple countries, delivering plenty for explorers who want to immerse themselves in the journey, while still offering a serious competition for those racing to be first across the finish line.

For our events that start with most people taking the Eurostar, we always announce the first checkpoint ahead of time, and for this race it will be... Strasbourg, allowing you to arrange your Eurostar for a fair price ahead of the event.

And as another throwback to the original, we'll be hosting our awards party on board a Bosphorus cruise, for an unforgettable finale.
