A [[{{Plots}} stock plot]]: the characters have to proceed from a starting line to a finishing line under some set of rules over the course of an extended period of time - often several days. This could be by car, by horse, by foot, or by any means necessary. Expect badasses of [[BadassDriver whatever]] [[ImprobablePilotingSkills types]] [[BadassBiker are]] [[{{Determinator}} appropriate]].

* ''Fanfic/NobledarkImperium'': The Iron Race is a cross-galactic racing competition held at irregular intervals by Craftworld Saim-Hann. Participants are chosen by invitation, but there are no particular requirements other than skill -- typically lineups include Craftworld Eldar, Humans, Kroot, Kabalites, Orkish Speed Freaks and more bizarre entrants still, and racers are permitted almost any kind of vehicle that they care to turn up in, which historically has included light battleships. The race itself winds in and through the Webway and across some of the most hazardous regions that the galaxy has to offer, including active warzones, Tyranid hive fleets, the event horizons of black holes and the edge of the Eye of Terror. Competitor casualties tend to be high, earning it the nickname of "the Suicide Race", and on at least a few occasions all of the competitors died before reaching the finish line.

* ''WebVideo/JetLagTheGame'': Season two's challenge was to be the first pair to circumnavigate the globe. To this end, each team was given a travel budget insufficient to cover all necessary flights, but allowed it to be replenished by completing designated challenges. To prevent a team from completing all their challenges in one spot, tasks completed in the same city saw diminishing returns.
