Athletes and participants on a Loaf experience

The joy of difficult things

What is Loaf?

Loaf is the platform that helps athletes run their own experiences. So if you want a difficult week with an awesome athlete, apply for a place on their team. If you're an athlete with a community, you run the experience; we handle applications, logistics, and safety. It's your experience, your journey and your community.

Trail Running

Cyprus · Feb 21–28, 2027

Cyprus

with Adriana Moser

The sun is barely up over Tochni. Stone streets are cool and quiet. You lace your shoes and step onto the trail. This is where our week starts, in a small village near the sea.

Tenerife · Mar 1–8, 2027

Tenerife

with Marcel Hoeche

The trail out of Chamorga is quiet at first. Just your feet and the old stones. Then the Anaga massif opens up, and you drop down to Roque Bermejo along paths people have walked for hundreds of years. That is day two. Eighteen kilometres, over a thousand metres of climb. It is hard, and it is meant to be.

Spain · Mar 28 – Apr 4, 2027

Granada

with Christopher Hall

The sun drops behind the Alhambra. The lights come on. You've just built your bike, had it tuned, and now you're sat down to dinner in Granada's old town. The ride starts tomorrow.

Apr 24 – May 1, 2027

Pyrenees

with Nini Oliveira

The air is cool and the Pyrenees stand quiet in front of you. A trail winds up through the rock. You feel your breath, your legs, the climb. This is where we start.

Pyrenees · May 10–17, 2027

Pyrenees

with Dioni Gorla

The morning air is cool in Benasque. You lace up your shoes. The Aneto massif stands tall above you, quiet and huge. This is where we start.

Montenegro · May 10–17, 2027

Montenegro

with Dreama Walton

Picture a cold morning above the Tara Canyon, the deepest in Europe. The forest is quiet. Your legs are still fresh. That first shakeout run finds your rhythm before the real work starts. This is Montenegro, seen from high up, over seven hard days on foot.

MTB

Jun 4–11, 2027

Pyrenees

with Fabrizio Dekoning

The road up Anisclo Canyon is quiet. Sometimes no cars come at all. Just your tyres, your breath, and the rock walls rising on both sides. This is where we start to climb. I'm Fabrizio, a cyclist from Belgium, and I ride the roads and gravel of Northern Europe. Come with me to the Pyrenees for seven days on the bike.

Turkey · Jun 7–14, 2027

Turkey

with Matthew Heaps

The path starts high and rocky. Your feet slip on loose stone. The air is thin. This is Feslikan, and the trail drops fast toward Saklıkent. Ten hard kilometres, most of it down, over steep single-track that asks a lot of your legs. At the pass, someone hands you a hot espresso. Then the coast opens up, and dinner is fresh seafood by the sea in Kemer.

Georgia · Jul 4–11, 2027

Georgia

with Sean Conway

The road climbs out of the Didgori Valley. Your legs already know this will be a long week. You clip in and start to pedal through alpine forest, up and down, mile after mile. This is Georgia. Big skies, old stone, rough terrain that asks a lot of you.
