An approximately 5.39 km long circular course runs over gravel, forest and meadow paths through the upland with Start and Finish on the Festival grounds. The course needs to be completed 5 times by the participants. This requires not only physical strength, in order to cover the almost 27 km at 745 metres altitude, but also real riding skills.
A section of the stretch consists of obstacles which have to be overcome with the bike.
Concerning the race, the focus rests not only on winning but on the fun had by all involved. The format, which originates in the USA, will celebrate its Festival premiere on Friday, 27 May 2016, at 3 p.m.
