Some dreams live for years on a page, at the top of a list. Then one day the dream becomes a race number. For us, that number was 29.
What was Hellas Rally Raid 2026?
Hellas Rally Raid is a rally raid event held in Greece, and the 2026 edition took place in May and June. Rally raid is the general name for long-distance, mostly off-road motorcycle racing. Doruk, an active FIM rally raid competitor, started on a Husqvarna 701, finished the race and placed third in FIM Class 4. The sentence we wrote in our post still stands: “One more dream came true.”

Finishing a rally raid is an achievement in itself, and with a podium on top it becomes the reward for the effort put into that road. As we wrote: “A long road ahead and endless dreams, we keep moving on the road we love.” On 4 June we also posted a short reel titled “Where adventure begins: Hellas Rally 2026”.
The other side of Hellas Rally
During the same days, Özlem had her own story in Greece. While Doruk raced, she spent eight days on holiday and told it from her own eyes in our Pefki article. Doruk holds a Turkish Motorcycle Federation instructor certificate and the Ministry of National Education approval as an Advanced and Safe Riding Techniques instructor, and Educated Moto Riders has prepared a participant programme for riders heading to Hellas Rally 2027. Rider Healthcare’s sachets for before, during and after riding are part of the riding story too.
