The 2026 Mishigami tee is here.

We worked with , a London-based illustrator, on this one. 1,121 miles around the Great Water, captured in Karl’s signature style.

Limited run so act fast. Link in bio. Go give Karl a follow while you’re at it.

What do you think of Karl’s work?

Do you have a favorite riding buddy you want to share the Mishigami experience with? We’re adding a pairs category for both race distances so you can race with your friend, spouse, or whoever you can endure for ~500-1,100 miles.

We know the Donnellys are already strategizing for 2026 🤔

Our ‘Mini’ race winner Paul Steenwyk learned the same lesson as Ron Burgundy…milk was a bad choice

All three Mishigami race winners. It’s pretty incredible that every year the winner has taken 24 hours off the previous winner’s time.

Don’t think it’s possible to shave off another 24 hours, but hey, we’ll see who shows up next year 🤷‍♂️

The winning fueling strategy? Syrup. Simple as that
