Not just racing.
Not just speed.
But the raw combination of nature, navigation, teamwork and the feeling that you are part of something bigger.
After the success of our first edition, The ROCK returns in 2026 with more confidence, more experience and a stronger vision. The new dates bring warmer weather, longer days and a beautiful final stage on 1 May, a public holiday for many European countries — the perfect ending to an unforgettable week in the mountains of Romania in a truly festive atmosphere.
