INSTRUCTIONS FOR PARTICIPANTS
- The challenge is designed for teams of three members (triples), who must complete the entire route together.
- Upon receiving their race numbers, each participant will receive a card on which they will collect stamps at all control points along the route.
- Stamps from all control points are mandatory. First control point is at the start.
- The card must be presented at both the start and finish line to the registration service, where the team will receive their reward.
Entry Fee: 120 EUR per team
SPECIAL WARNINGS
- Participants must comply with traffic regulations, as the route will not be closed to traffic.
- Each participant will receive a GPX file for navigation. The route will also be marked with directional arrows at key points.
- Special caution is advised on particularly fast asphalt and gravel descents, as these sections will have open traffic, and participants might encounter oncoming vehicles (descent from Repče towards Brezje, descent towards the village of Bernardovec-Lupinica).
- A protective helmet is mandatory.
- On the back of the race number, there is a form for vital personal and contact information in case of injury or accident. Please fill this out, as it will significantly ease the work of the rescue service during the marathon.
- A marathon participant is anyone who registers with the organizer, fills out the registration form, pays the entry fee, and has a race number. By picking up the race number, participants confirm that they are aware of the event’s terms and conditions and agree to them.
- Participants under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
- The organizer will provide a commemorative medal to each participant.
- All participants ride at their own risk.
New E-MTB Challenge is intended for experienced and well-prepared cyclists. The course will be 98 kilometers long and include 2,800 meters of elevation gain.
The unique feature of this non-competitive event is that it takes place in teams of three cyclists, who must ride together at all times. Due to the difficulty of the route, electric mountain bikes are highly recommended, and several charging stations will be available. There will also be 8 refreshment stations along the way.
The expected duration of the challenge is between 6 and 12 hours, which means participants will need good physical fitness, endurance, and team spirit. It is also possible to use regular mountain or gravel bikes with wider tires. This is recommended for well-prepared cyclists.
