About Peru

History and symbols of Peru

Heartland of the Inca Empire, Cuzco region is full of mind blowing gravel roads, built at the height of the empire. These numerous ramifications that cross the region are part of the “Qhapaq ñan” (royal road in Quechua), the ancient road network of the Incas which was traveled on foot by uncommon humans: the Chaskis. These exceptional athletes were able to communicate messages within the Inca Empire at unprecedented speeds and metabolic power alone.

Nowadays, Peru hides one of the most spectacular gravel cycling playground with superb passes and breathtaking landscapes. Highlight of the 2020 edition: the Ausangate and Salcantay, the highest peaks in the region which hide spectacular landscapes but also one of the most demanding bikepacking experience! Finish the race and explore then Macchu Picchu from the race village located in Urubamba village!

BikingMan Peru offers a unique opportunity to pursue a passion to see a part of the world that is etched in folklore, history and in the heart of the mighty Andes where the famed Inca dynasty conquered and ruled the whole of South America. Don’t be fooled by the basic stats that read “10days/1650kms/32,000m altitude gain” because this event “is not about the bicycle” - just look at my state of the art LOOK gravel bike and Leo’s very basic “+15 year old” hardtail mtb. Yes, you need to be fit and armed with suitably warm clothes and bike-spares to survive this journey across the cold high-altitude (+4,500m) mountains - but the quintessential thing that you need is a well trained mind that is fueled by passion and filled with positive energy and determination because Incadivide is mentally tough and unrelenting it is life changing. This event consumes me and has defined the meaning of “Explore - Endure - Empower”

A special race
Daniel Green - UK (Ultracyclist)

The first time I went to Oman, it was amazing! Made a lot of new friends and promised to come back this year. So I did and the second time was even better! The BikingMan family is growing and I’m so happy to be a part of it. Thanks a lot to all of you guys. I had an amazing time here and I promise I’ll come back! Inshallah!

Second time was even better
Fabian Burri - Switzerland (BikingMan veteran)

Axel and the team, Taiwan was amazing, Oman was equally as awesome! The research you put into designing these courses is very impressive. The teams before and during the race at each checkpoint were excellent. I noticed improvements since Taiwan, with the number of volunteers and medics etc. And this all adds to the professionalism and structure you have established. BikingMan is an amazing concept with great camaraderie amongst participants. It’s a privilege to participate in your events. Thanks a lot. Until next time in Peru.

A privilege to participate
Chris Cameron - UK (BikingMan Veteran)

To everyone at BikingMan, I was very scared to enter my first ultracycling event, and especially to do it in a country so far away from my home. I can’t mark you all enough for making me feel so safe and so part of a community. I have been able to experience a part of the world on my bike that I never thought I would be able to. I have a lot to learn but looking forward to giving some new strategies in my next race already. All the best, ciao! Hugs and love.
