Ultra Cyclist Philipp Kaider Embarks on Race Across America with Support from Radiometer

On June 10, 2025, Austrian ultra-endurance athlete Philipp Kaider will begin his most ambitious challenge yet: the Race Across America (RAAM). Spanning nearly 5,000 kilometers from the Pacific to the Atlantic, RAAM is widely regarded as one of the toughest endurance races in the world—demanding continuous cycling across extreme terrain, weather conditions, and time zones.

This marks Kaider’s first attempt at the iconic race, a feat that tests not just physical strength, but also mental focus and strategic precision. Supported by a mobile crew and detailed performance planning, Kaider is determined to cross the finish line with speed and resilience.

“RAAM isn’t just a race—it’s a life experience,” said Kaider. “It’s about pushing past what you thought was possible and discovering a new level of endurance. I’ve trained for years to reach this starting line.”

RAAM represents the ultimate test of human endurance, and Philipp’s story reflects the passion and perseverance we admire at Radiometer. To help monitor his hydration and recovery throughout the event, Kaider's team will use the ABL90 FLEX PLUS blood gas analyzer to measure critical values such as electrolytes—ensuring he remains in peak condition across each stage of the race.

About RAAM
