Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A stock plot: the characters have to proceed from a starting line to a finishing line under some set of rules over the course of an extended period of time — often several days. This could be by car, by horse, by foot, or by any means necessary. Expect badasses of whatever types are appropriate. This may involve Wacky Racing or it may not: the distinguishing characteristic of an Epic Race is the extreme length (generally 12 hours or more), not its idiosyncratic nature. An Epic Race is so long that the challenge of merely going that distance in the time adds interest, irrespective of anything else. Generally a subtrope of The Big Race, for obvious reasons. |

Death Race 2000 features the Transcontinental Road Race which acts as a Bread and Circuses event to pacify the population of a totalitarian United States of the future. As the name suggests, it runs from one side of the country to the other, though the focus is more on running over pedestrians. | |

Death Race, an In Name Only remake of Death Race 2000. In this case, it's a NASCAR-style track race where part of the goal is to kill the other racers. Death Race 3 changes the race to a Baja 1000-inspired desert rally. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run, Part 7 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, features an extreme example, with a race across the USA starting in San Diego and ending in New York. Even without the bizarre plot involving Stand battles, the president of the USA, and the mummified body parts of Jesus, it's still an extraordinarily long and dangerous race which goes on for 116 days. Of the 3852 people said to have entered, only 39 make it to the finish line, and 88 participants lose their lives during the 6000 km race. It is almost entirely a horse race, with the exception of Sandman, who just decided to run it on foot. | |

To this end, each team was given a travel budget insufficient to cover all necessary flights, but allowed it to be replenished by completing designated challenges. To prevent a team from completing all their challenges in one spot, tasks completed in the same city saw diminishing returns. | |

Top Gear (UK) does this a lot, mostly pitting a car against another form of transportation: The first such race pitted an Aston Martin DB9 against a pair of high speed trains running from the Top Gear studio in Surrey to a hotel in Monte Carlo. Jeremy even refers to the challenge as an epic race when introducing the segment, so he recognized this trope was in play. The economy race from Basel, Switzerland to the Blackpool Illuminations took 17 hours. The presenters had to make the journey on one tank of gas, so it was a challenge of strategy as well as speed. The race from Heathrow to a ski resort in Switzerland between a new Ferrari and a series of forms of public transportation. Notable for having one of the closest finishes on the series. The race between a Mercedes-Benz and a cruise ship was their longest yet, running over 1300 miles and ending the day after it started. |

Nobledark Imperium: The Iron Race is a cross-galactic racing competition held at irregular intervals by Craftworld Saim-Hann. Participants are chosen by invitation, but there are no particular requirements other than skill — typically lineups include Craftworld Eldar, Humans, Kroot, Kabalites, Orkish Speed Freaks and more bizarre entrants still, and racers are permitted almost any kind of vehicle that they care to turn up in, which historically has included light battleships. The race itself winds in and through the Webway and across some of the most hazardous regions that the galaxy has to offer, including active warzones, Tyranid hive fleets, the event horizons of black holes and the edge of the Eye of Terror. Competitor casualties tend to be high, earning it the nickname of "the Suicide Race", and on at least a few occasions all of the competitors died before reaching the finish line. | |
