Four days. Smaller field. Same wild spirit. We're packing everything you love about Lupine Racing into a tighter, punchier format. It's more compact, more chaotic, and just as unforgettable.
This one's a little different. There's no early checkpoint reveal. No Eurostar logistics to stress over. Just you, your team, and the challenge of crossing Eastern Europe into Moldova, smashing through the Iron Curtain and deep into the former USSR.
Want to go for glory? There’s an extra checkpoint that makes the race tougher for those chasing the top spots. Not sure yet? No problem. You can decide on the fly. Push hard for a competitive finish or ease off, skip the final checkpoint, still qualify as a completion, and make it to the party in style.
Fast or relaxed, this is your chance to try something new. Less time off, more adventure, all the Lupine chaos.
Initially, we’ll be targeting returners for this semi-test event but will open it to the public if there is demand. Due to the harder nature of the event, we're also limiting to over 18s only, unlike our longer school holiday events.
If there's enough interest, we'll also run a two-day tour on Sunday and Monday to Tiraspol in Transnistria, with a visit to the Cricova wine cellar in Moldova on the way back.
