Rapha Prestige

Unmarshalled and self-supported, the Rapha Prestige challenges small teams to a one-day adventure across stunning terrain and testing routes on a riding challenge unlike any other.

05 December 2022

Adventure

Specially curated routes in some of the world’s most remarkable riding destinations.

Teamwork

A team is no faster than its slowest member. You must start together, work together and stay together in order to finish.

Resilience

The key ingredient needed to last the course. Find your limit, then push past it. You’ll never forget it, and you’ll never regret it.

Taking place in some of the world's best riding destinations, both renowned and lesser-known, each Prestige promises to put you and your riding partners to the test. You’ll experience the truest meaning of team, riding alongside one another from start to finish whilst working to navigate remote routes and testing courses on a day-long adventure you’ll never forget.

Check out our global schedule of events, gather your team and get ready to ride.

RIDER REVIEWS

Don’t just take our word for it, hear from real Prestige riders about their own epic experiences:

“Four female teammates, 145 km of spectacular riding, great organisation and an amazing atmosphere. In summary, Rapha Prestige has undoubtedly been a day to remember. Girl gravel power forever.”

 

- Silvia Pineda, Prestige Mallorca

“​​What an absolute blast! The Rapha team and their providers came through strong despite subpar conditions, and the amount of prep and organisation done on riders’ behalf made the day a huge success. Thank you for making membership so easy to renew each year with events such as this.”

 

- Colin Moran, Prestige Bonnie Doon

“The event was truly 10/10. Everyone was friendly and the food was delicious, thank you so much! Emily and the team were very supportive and helpful when I needed to be picked up on the road.”

 

- Mily Noyola, Prestige Delaware Water Gap

Prestige FAQ's

 

What sort of bike or terrain?

The terrain and ideal bike for each Prestige varies. Gravel is featured in many of Prestige routes and the recommended bike and tire choice for each is listed on the events page

Can start/end locations be revealed (for accommodation purposes)

The start/end locations are included on the events page and some will include recommended accommodation so you can book prior to the final route being shared.

Is it an A - B route or a loop?

This will vary for each event, but the majority of events start and end in the same location.

Are there benefits for RCC members?

Each event will reserve a portion of the capacity for RCC member teams so have a better chance of entry.

Is it possible to complete a Prestige ride solo? (or larger team)

The ride is designed for teams of four. This sets the Rapha Prestige apart from other ride formats. The fun is choosing your teammates and the challenge is to work together and cross the finish line together.

Will GPX be provided?

Yes. The route will be shared at least one week prior to the event date.

What is covered by the ticket price, if the event is unsupported & unmarshalled?

While the Prestige doesn’t follow a set route on closed route and regular feedstations, each event will offer different levels of support. This includes route planning support, emergency/first aid, a post-ride meal and some special takeaways.

The ticket price covers entry for 4 participants

Are there benefits for RCC members?

YWe will communicate the launch of Rapha Prestige events to RCC members first, giving you the best chance of securing a spot.

How to swap a team member in an already registered team?

Please contact customer service who will be able to put you in touch with the event organiser to update their records and send an event participation waiver, which all team members are required to complete.

Tickets are non-refundable so please organise reimbursement directly with your teammates.
