The next set of official race events for Path of Exile 2 will start soon, and this time, there are even more prizes on the line. The series begins May 25, with two more races to follow on June 1 and June 8. Each event is open to all players on both PC and console.
In each race, players will compete in Standard Solo Self-Found mode with a fixed layout to be the first to kill Doryani in Act 3. This is not a Hardcore race, but death comes with a penalty; if you die, your character will be frozen for one full minute.
Race Times
- Race 1: May 25 at 1PM PDT / 8PM UTC
- Race 2: June 1 at 1PM PDT / 8PM UTC
- Race 3: June 8 at 1PM PDT / 8PM UTC
Everyone starts at the same time, so log in early and get ready!

How to Join
- Go to the Character Select screen and hit “Join” on the race event.

What You Can Win

Each race will reward a Demigod’s Virtue item to the top player of each class:
The items show up in a Remove-Only stash tab in your core league after the race. You can equip them, link them, trade them, or just leave them there as a trophy. You can also turn them into a cosmetic using /convertracereward
.
In future events, GGG stated that they plan to cycle through all Demigod items, forming a full armor set (including weapons) if you win enough races.
Bonus Prizes
- The fastest player across all three races (any class) will win the chance to design a Divination Card.
- The fastest player of each class (overall) gets to pick one of several PoE-themed desk pads.
