You can look forward to a variety of great trails in the forest, and an impressive scenic backdrop. On average, you’ll have to cover 30 kilometres and ascend around 1,000 metres. Riding technique will count of course, but so will orientation, fitness and intelligent battery management*. The stages, which offer a mix of uphill and downhill sections, are ridden against the clock without any prior training runs. In the transfer stages, the emphasis is on good orientation rather than just speed. It’s a real voyage of discovery and a lot of fun!
The trails are designed for all levels of experience, whether you are a high-end professional or a relative e-bike newbie. Just choose from the two different categories; Advanced or Amateur.
*you should comfortably be able to complete the course with 1 fully charged battery – used wisely!

Entry options
AMATEUR
In the "Amateur" category, the technical difficulty is somewhat lower so that hobby riders with some MTB experience can participate.
ADVANCED
The “Advanced” category is intended for more experienced mountain bikers, you will be tasked with an additional, more demanding stage or two. You'll also be required to ride a larger loop – a test of both your fitness and technical skills, where smart battery management will also be essential.
Battery rules
The course is designed so that an average rider can complete it on one battery, using EMTB mode as standard. Take a look at the overall stats and if you think you're battery won't be big enough; there are some chunky climbs, you can change to the Amateur course in advance or on the day. If you stick with the Advanced and when you're on the trails and don't think you'll get around the course with one battery, you can switch to the amateur course. Just be sure to let the timings guys know when you hand your timing chip in.
