ZOE International was honored to participate in the 2026 Race Across America (RAAM) as our first ever 2 man team and our fifth year racing overall. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we have been devoted to helping end child trafficking since 2002 through prevention, rescue, and restoration.
Race Across America (RAAM) is one of the world’s most demanding endurance cycling events, challenging elite cyclists from more than 35 countries to push themselves to the absolute limit. The 2026 race began on June 20, 2026, in Oceanside, California, and concluded in Atlantic City, New Jersey after nearly 3,000 miles across 13 states. RAAM has become a powerful platform for athletes to raise awareness and funds for charitable causes.
Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, our riders completed this incredible journey while helping shine a light on the fight against child trafficking. Every donation supported our team’s efforts and helped advance ZOE International’s mission to reach every person with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and rescue every child from human trafficking.

About ZOE’s Race Across America
ZOE International is excited to be entering a 2-man team in the 2026 Race Across America. The race will begin on June 20, 2026 in Oceanside, CA and end in Atlantic City, NJ. As a 501(c)3, we have been rescuing and caring for trafficked children and orphans since 2003. We exist to find long-term solutions to end child trafficking through prevention, rescue, and restoration.
Over the past 41 years, Race Across America (RAAM) has become a global phenomenon, challenging ultracyclists from over 35 countries to push their physical and mental limits to the utmost. In addition, RAAM has become a huge platform for racers to raise awareness and money for charities of their choice
Competing in the 8-man race, the ZOE team, bringing awareness to the issue of child trafficking, placed 1st place in 2025, 2nd place in 2023, first place in 2021 and 3rd place in 2019. This June, for the first time, a 2-man ZOE team will challenge themselves on a non-stop, 3,000 mile transcontinental relay race from the Pacific to the Atlantic in order to raise awareness and funds for the important work that ZOE is doing. The riders and the support crew are ready to go, but we need financial partners to complete this mission!
Thank you for considering the opportunity to partner with us to make a difference in the lives of children as we reach our ultimate goal of ending child trafficking worldwide.
