The Loneliest Race

Racing around the globe alone for 300 days, 16 sailors test their physical and emotional limits in the world's longest and most daring sporting challenge.

The Golden Globe Race is the world’s most challenging competition: amateur sailors complete a solo, non-stop, round-the-world yacht race, without assistance or the use of modern technology. Only six people have ever completed the journey, known for its
reputation for breaking both boats and spirits. In 2022, 16 competitors set sail, each intent on writing their names in the history books. They include a lone female competitor and a sailor whose last attempt ended with a shattered spine. Alex Craig’s film, featuring footage aboard the yachts and in the race’s land-based headquarters, thrillingly documents the participant’s journeys. It captures them as they navigate violent storms and the threat of shipwreck, all the while embracing a relentless determination to survive and win.
