With the launch of Dawn of the Hunt, it's time for more racing action in Path of Exile 2! Starting on May 25th (PDT), a new series of race events will challenge players to prove their speed, strategy, and skill. These races are open to everyone and aim to crown the fastest and most dedicated competitors. Will the current champions remain on top? Are there new techniques to gain an edge? How will the Huntress, the newest class, perform? It’s time to find out.
Race Format
Each race will challenge players to be the first to kill Doryani in Act 3 under the following conditions:
Standard Solo Self-Found
Fixed layout environment
Not Hardcore, but death results in a 1-minute penalty during which the player cannot move
To participate:
Click the "Join" button for the race in the Character Select screen
Create your race character
Once you enter the game, your character will remain immobile until the official start of the race
Leaderboard links will be shared so players can track live standings and post-race results.

Event Dates and Times
These races will be available on PC and Console, with a shared prize pool.
Race 1: May 25, 2025 - 5:00 PM (GMT-3) / 1PM PDT
Race 2: June 1, 2025 - 5:00 PM (GMT-3) / 1PM PDT
Race 3: June 8, 2025 - 5:00 PM (GMT-3) / 1PM PDT
We recommend joining early, as each race will start simultaneously for all players.
Prizes
The top player of each class will receive the unique item Demigod's Virtue:
Ranger
Sorceress
Witch
Monk
Warrior
Mercenary
Huntress (new class)
Each race will award seven Demigod's Virtues, and future events will expand to include new classes as they are introduced.
These rewards are part of a collectible set, which will eventually form a complete armor and weapon set. After each race, winners will receive a Remove-Only stash tab containing the item:
Equip and use it
Link it in chat
Keep it as a trophy
Trade it if you prefer
Want to use it as a cosmetic? Convert it into a microtransaction with the command:
/convertracereward |
These Remove Only tabs will be available in all future leagues, becoming accessible one month after the league begins.

Additional Rewards
The fastest class times across all three races will be awarded a Path of Exile Desk Pad (design of choice).
Additionally, a Divination Card design will be awarded to the fastest overall player across all three races. (This is different from the previous event, where the grand prize was given to the fastest player in the final race only.)
