The story

AlphaRace Chechen Republic Off-Road Rally Festival in Grozny

Alpha Race is a Russia Cup-status off-road rally-raid series whose 2026 first stage runs 21 to 24 May in Grozny, sending motorcycles, ATVs, and side-by-sides across roughly 700 kilometers of steppe and sand terrain, with a companion beginner-friendly festival and a second competitive stage following in Stavropol that September.

Grozny, the capital of the Chechen Republic, hosts the opening stage of Alpha Race each spring, an off-road rally-raid series holding Russia Cup status in cross-country rally and backed by the Russian Ministry of Sport.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The concrete detail that sets Alpha Race apart from a generic motorsport listing is its official standing: the series carries Russia Cup status in cross-country rally, backed by the Russian Ministry of Sport, and its Grozny stage covers roughly 700 kilometers of steppe and sandy terrain for competitors on motorcycles, ATVs, and side-by-side vehicles

02

The mystery stays covered

Alongside the elite competition, organizers run a separate Alpha Tour off-road festival aimed at newcomers taking their first steps in rally-raid, giving the event a genuine on-ramp for less experienced entrants rather than restricting it to professionals
