Tales of Adventure is a hub for endurance enthusiasts, bringing you stories, race insights, gear reviews, and tips for tackling some of the toughest adventures and challenges around the world.
Whether you’re a seasoned ultra-athlete, weekend explorer, or simply curious about epic challenges, our content is designed to inspire, inform and prepare you for your next adventure.
We focus on ultra-distance cycling, trail running, adventure racing, and other endurance sports, but we also feature unique, lesser-known events that push limits in different ways.
Yes, we welcome guest submissions from adventurers around the world. Use our contact form to share your experience, and we’ll get back to you with next steps.
Whenever possible, we test gear in real conditions to give honest feedback. In some rare cases, we’ll feature expert reviews or community-tested recommendations.
Sign up to our newsletter or follow us on social media to get the latest race reports, tips, and gear guides delivered straight to your inbox.
We remain independent, though we may partner with brands or event organisers for specific features. We always disclose any sponsored content.
Tales of Adventure is created and operated by Hiatus.Design, a digital design studio. While the platform is part of the Hiatus.Design family, it maintains full editorial independence to ensure honest, unbiased stories, race reports, and gear reviews.
