ABOUT THE PROJECT

Our mission, history, and the spirit of randonneuring.

CYCLING IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE BIKE. IT'S ABOUT THE JOURNEY, THE PEOPLE, AND THE RELENTLESS WILL TO KEEP PEDALING.

Founded in 2010, Randonneurs Belarus started with a simple idea: to bring the rich French tradition of Audax Club Parisien to the sprawling, beautiful roads of our homeland. What began with a handful of enthusiasts has grown into a nationwide movement.

ESTABLISHED 2010
ACTIVE CLUBS 12
BREVETS HELD 150+

THE EARLY DAYS

Before GPS head units and ultra-light bikepacking gear, completing a 200km brevet required a paper cue sheet, a reliable dynamo, and immense grit. Our first official brevet saw only 8 finishers, battling headwinds and gravel roads. It wasn't about speed; it was about survival and camaraderie.

"We didn't ride to win. We rode to prove that the human body can outlast the setting sun."

OUR CORE VALUES

01

Self-Sufficiency

No team cars. No sag wagons. Just you, your bike, and what you can carry.

02

Endurance

Pushing past the physical and mental limits to achieve distances previously thought impossible.

03

Camaraderie

We ride alone, but we finish together. Helping a fellow rider is always prioritized over finishing time.
