SRMR 2026 Day 14: The Finish Line
Episode 17
Sunday, 30 August, 2026
The clock has finally wound down. After more than fourteen days, 2,060 kilometres and 38,000 metres of climbing, the 2026 Silk Road Mountain Race comes to an end on the shores of Issyk-Kul, at the finish line at Hotel Zeto. Riders roll in sun-weathered, filthy and running on empty — five spokes gone and a wheel rebuilt in Bishkek, blistered hands from one last descent of sand and cobbles, a phone broken on day two, a mascot named Beaker who's been everywhere and never had a wash. We greet them as they arrive on the final day of racing.Riders featured in this episode: Walter Mayerhofer — Cap 109Luke Patch — Cap 125Nina Holtrup — Cap 212AVerena Walter — Cap 212BFrank Soll — Cap 161Avri Beach — Cap 15Thomas Quirk — Cap 136Matthew Franklin — Cap 59Production & hosting by Mel WebbSound design by Ben CrannellCover photo by Stephen SheleskyVisit our website to learn more about The Mountain RacesThanks to our race partners Albion, Pertex and Tailfin.
