The 2024Race Calendar
Discover the 2024 BikingMan Origine season
The BikingMan is the 1st ultracycling world championship since 2017and offers events on roads and gravel tracks. It is the ultimate endurance challenge for athletes who seek to challenge themselves on legendary courses with extraordinary topographical and climatic conditions, without assistance and without stages.
The 7th season of the championship will include 7 qualifying rounds: Sri-Lanka will serve as the “prologue” of the season (the most accessible round). The historic French stages (Corsica, France and AURA) will offer spectacular and unique routes. 2024 is also a return to the origins of BikingMan with international events: the 4th edition of BikingMan Brazil, the 2nd edition of BikingMan X in Morocco and the return of our legendary event on the tropical island of Taiwan!
To enter the championship rankings, participants will have to complete 2 “sprint” events in the series.
Ultracyclists who wish to test themselves on gravel will also be able to discover 3 ultradistance 555 formats: in Brazil at the start of the season with a unique track in the heart of the Araucarias forests in the Santa Catarina region, in France with the Vercors and the Alpes-Maritimes.

Sprint< 1,100 km< 20,000m120HBikingMan points system for the World Series
Do you dream of one day becoming the BikingMan champion? To be part of the ranking of the BikingMan Series, participants must be “finisher” on a minimum of 2 BikingMan races in the same category.
For 2024, the system evolves and the 555 integrates the ranking of the series!
In order to reward athletes who undertake the most difficult challenges several times a year, the score table evolves with a points system for each event which takes into account the challenges they offer. The most demanding adventures are now better rewarded!
In this new approach, the 555 events join the series ranking. These gravel events lasting a maximum of 55 hours represent an ultra condensed version of the adventure, the challenge and the BikingMan spirit. For the sake of fairness in the effort, it seemed fair to us that they contribute to the ranking in the BikingMan championship.
- Each race in the series (555 and BikingMan) allows the rider to score points (For General and Categories rankings: Solo male, solo female, team)
- Each event rewards finishing participants according to the challenges encountered, with the most challenging events therefore earning more points.
- The amount of points is based on the rider’s position at finish, for the first 20 finishing riders
- Beyond the first 20 positions, each finisher scores points.
- The following chart details the points given for each position/finisher for events on the calendar, 555 and BikingMan events.
- Ties in rankings are ordered by best position achieved
