The Wildcard Rally challenged riders to cover as much distance as possible between two points, earning one point per kilometer ridden and one point per 10 meters climbed. Watch an entertaining video from this year’s event here…

The 2026 edition of the Wildcard Rally started at Dirt Worms’ headquarters in Ede, Netherlands, this year. Wildcard is an adventure-first bikepacking rally, where the participants are given a start and finish location, but they’re responsible for making their own route between them. The twist? They only have 10 hours to complete their ride, and they get bonus points for covering more distance and logging more elevation gain. What could possibly go wrong?

The official video, which includes footage and photos from the participants, offers a behind-the-scenes look at the event. Watch that below, and scroll down for a few 35mm film photos from Jakub Roczek.
