2. The Tour de France
The Tour de France is a popular
cycling race that takes place every
year in July. Teams of nine riders
bike 3,427 km through the French
countryside. By the start of the
race, 15 million spectators
will have lined up to watch the race.
Riders try to intake 300-400
calories an hour during the race.
At the end of an average day, they
will have consumed over 6,000
calories. As a group they will have
drunk 42,000 bottles of water.

3. Ironman Triathlon
The Ironman is the most grueling
triathlon. The fittest of athletes will
swim for 2.4 miles, bike for 112
miles, and then run a marathon
(26.2 miles). Participants will have
been training for many months
prior to the race, which officially
ends after 17 hours. At that point,
many racers won’t have finished
yet. Contestants who do finish,
however, will have fulfilled a
lifelong dream.

4. The Raid World Cup
The Raid is a multi-sport
adventure race that takes place
in a different country every year.
Teams who complete the race

By the end of the course, most
participants will have endured
dehydration and sleep
deprivation.
