Dear Mountain Bike riders,

As you know, you can choose between Gravel and MTB routes. Here’s what you need to know:

1) Marking:
All MTB routes are fully signposted – unlike the Gravel routes, for which we only provide GPX files. 

 Tip: download the GPX files from our website at the very last moment possible, as routes might be updated (e.g. due to storm damage). You can of course use them earlier for training rides.

2) E-Bikes welcome:
All distances (40 km, 62 km, 76 km) can be ridden on an e-bike (For the marathon distance, make sure to monitor your battery level carefully).
E-bikes are not allowed in the races (but honestly, they wouldn’t stand a chance against the real racers).

3) Gravel bikes:
Not permitted in the races.

4) Behavior & safety:

• Roads are open to traffic → obey traffic rules!
• Be respectful toward other riders, hikers, and road users.
• The forest is not fully closed off – share the trails.

5) Race start:
Do not overtake the police escort before the official start.

6) Road crossings:

• Some crossings are secured by the police, others by volunteers (huge thanks to them).
• Please note: non-timed routes are not marshalled or secured. – Extra caution is required.

7) Course profile:
Our marathon routes are not just forest roads – they get more technical and “trail-like” as the distance increases.

• Chicken lines are available.
• Golden rule: If in doubt → get off the bike! Stay safe and avoid a crash that could ruin your season.

8) Registration:
Online only (Visa card payment).
Cash is only for food & drinks at the Food Village.

9) Service:
Bike Wash available on-site.

Enjoy the ride and have fun!
