CHOOSE YOUR DISTANCE
The distance doesn't matter: it's the adventure that counts.
On the Race Across Switzerland (RACH), courses take the form of loops or straights that circle around - or converge on - a single Basecamp .
To complete your challenge, you'll either have to complete one or two different loops, or return to Basecamp via a linear route. This is where you'll find your belongings and loved ones: the only part of the race where all assistance is permitted.
