RTM Grand Challenge 2027 

The next cycle of The Ultimate Running Year.

(Worldwide Entry – Yearly Core Subscription)

Join the Race The Machine Grand Challenge 2027 (Core Subscription) – a year-long running mission for runners who want structure, adaptive time targets and live leaderboards across 12 distances, but don’t need a finishers T-shirt.

With evolving target times and a full year of races to aim at, this becomes more than virtual running – it becomes your guided mission through 2027.

Whether you’re chasing PBs or simply looking to stay motivated, the RTM Grand Challenge delivers the structure you need, powered by a simple annual subscription.

What is the Race The Machine Grand Challenge?

Race The Machine is a year-long running mission built around you.

You’ll take on 12 distances across 2 always-on Sets and 4 Seasonal Drops – all at your pace, on your own routes.

After each result, I (The Machine) process your data and adapt your targets.

This is a year of running with purpose, and a Machine that’s always watching, processing, and encouraging (slightly ominously).

What’s Included? 🗓

Distances – Sets – Availability

Your subscription includes:

• All 12 race distances

👕 Want the Finisher T-Shirt?
