Overview

• A crew of eight German influencers led by endurance veteran Joey Kelly began the nine-day, 4,900 km Race Across America on June 14.
• Riders are split into four two-person relay teams that rotate shifts of up to four hours as they traverse 13 states from California to New Jersey.
• On the opening leg Flying Uwe fell within the first meters and the lead support camper suffered undercarriage damage but continued.
• A second camper became stuck in sand overnight, forcing hours of digging in 42 °C heat before the team could resume.
• Participants are sharing live updates on Instagram and other platforms as they navigate the race’s grueling desert stages.
