Speed & Endurance: The Philippe May Story – A Swiss UltraCyclist’s Journey

Join UltraCycling Magazine for an exclusive livestream with Swiss speed skiing legend and ultracyclist Philippe May, who defies limits on and off the slopes. From setting speed records at 250 km/h to tackling grueling endurance races like the Race Across America (RAAM), May has tested the boundaries of human performance in both disciplines. His journey took a dramatic turn when he was diagnosed with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C), a rare and potentially fatal heart condition. Instead of stepping back, he adapted, proving that resilience and innovation can keep an athlete at the top despite physical challenges.
In this livestream, May will discuss his evolution from elite speed skier to ultra-endurance cyclist, his strategies for overcoming adversity, and his insights on competing with a heart condition in some of the world’s toughest races. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear from a true pioneer of endurance sports!
Philippe’s wife and crew, Tracie, will join the show. Tracie is a world class speed skier as well and a cancer survivor.
