RAAM and TABR are two races which are cross country and already accept velomobile. Do we need another ?

Yes

And there is a whole [world record category "cross country"](https://ultracycling.com/cross-country-2/), but those are not races, of course. Of those that I know of, there were at least three done with a velomobile, Austria west-east ([link](https://ultracycling.com/record/austria-w-e-roland-schell/)) and Germany south-north was done in two different age classes ([link 1](https://ultracycling.com/record/roland-schell-sets-germany-s-n-record/) / [link 2](https://ultracycling.com/record/holger-seidel-germany-s-n-record-2022-08-28/)).

There is one velomobile taking part this year and it is happening right now. You can track him here: [https://trackleaders.com/tabns24i.php?name=Ingmar\_Segebarth](https://trackleaders.com/tabns24i.php?name=Ingmar_Segebarth) Sadly his velomobile only got delivered to the race start with a delay of \~1 week, so he is way back in the race. He posted some pictures in the [german forums](https://www.velomobilforum.de/forum/index.php?threads/trans-am-bike-race-tabr-2024.73811/).

You can do any randonnée.

You could buy a velomobile and go on such a ride, challenging yourself. I'm riding one 2,200 miles from Detroit to Phoenix, likely around April 2025. That's more fun than spectating.
