The fourth edition of the Golden Globe Race gets underway September 6, 2026 from the start and finish port of Les Sables-d’Olonne, France.
Seventeen entrants are preparing for the solo, non-stop, unassisted circumnavigation of approximately 30,000 nautical miles. Across the three previous editions, there were 43 attempts and nine finishes. The 2022-23 race had five of the 16 starters complete the course.
The key detail is how entrants are limited to sailing similar yachts and equipment to what was available in the 1968 first race.
“The GGR only happens once every four years, but when it does the world experiences something raw, totally and utterly human,” said race founder Don McIntyre. “It takes this adventure to a completely different level from all other solo races and human competition. Call it what you like, but the GGR stands out. It is a brutal demonstration of the human spirit and a race of attrition like no other.” - Full report
