KARCC pedals into 2026 with seventh Annual Guyana-Suriname Group Ride
Kaieteur Sports – The Kaieteur Attack Racing Cycle Club (KARCC) is set to ignite its 2026 calendar of activities with the ultimate test of endurance and grit, the seventh annual Guyana–Suriname Cross-Country Cycling Group Ride, scheduled for January 22–27.
This highly anticipated event will see cyclists embark on an epic journey from Georgetown to Albina (French Guiana border), covering four grueling legs that will push both skill and stamina to the limit. The ride continues to grow in stature each year and remains one of the region’s most demanding and well-supported cycling challenges.
The assembly point for the ride is Sheriff Medical Centre on Sheriff Street, where cyclists are required to gather from 3:00 am on Thursday morning. Departure is set for 4:00 am to ensure a smooth and fair start.
Flashback! Several Cyclists assembled at the Albina border, following the completion on 2025 edition.
The opening leg begins in Georgetown, with riders pedaling across borders to reach Nickerie, Suriname. From there, the second leg takes the peloton from Nickerie to Coronie, followed by the third leg from Coronie to Paramaribo. The final and decisive stage will see cyclists depart Paramaribo en route to Albina, the Cayenne border, where the journey culminates.
Organisers have assured participants that the event is fully supported, featuring medical personnel on standby throughout the ride, support vehicles, predetermined rest stops and regular refreshments to aid recovery and performance along the route.
Participation requirements include a valid passport with at least six months’ validity, a yellow fever vaccination card, and personal and vehicular insurance. Cyclists under the age of 16 must also present a written permission letter from a parent or guardian in order to take part.
The Guyana–Suriname Group Ride is made possible through the support of the Guyana Tourism Authority, Coronie Travel, Men on a Mission (MOM), Volkan Engineering, KGM Security Service Inc., the Ministry of Tourism, COMDA/JACOO, and the Surinamese Wielren Unie.
With its blend of international camaraderie, physical challenge and scenic routes, the Guyana–Suriname Group Ride once again promises to be a fitting and thrilling start to the 2026 cycling year.
