Last one standing.
Live from Baar.

Everyone starts at the same second.

The world team championship is a satellite race. Nobody sees anybody else run: every nation starts in its own yard, at the same time, and times its own race.

What that means for this page

Where a nation publishes its timing feed, the numbers can be read while the race is still on. So we pull them together and add them up ourselves, live. Not every nation publishes one — a missing country is not a statement.

The sun sets at 18:37.

By the fifth bell it is dark, and it stays dark for thirteen hours. Same 6706 metres, now by headlamp. The two road crossings nobody thought about at three in the afternoon are the only places with light.

Crews are shared

There is not enough room in Baar for fifteen separate crews, so they are shared. The person handing you a cup is handing the next one a cup too, and at four in the morning they have been awake exactly as long as you have.

Come and watch

Come and cheer the team on, we need any support we can get. The first twenty-four hours are just the warm-up — drop in whenever it suits you, day or night.

Loop counts on this page come straight from the timing system in Baar and refresh every thirty seconds. Both boards already run on the real 2024 data, so you can see now what they will do on the day. The livestream runs at the top of this page and on the live page.
