Offering multiple route options ranging from 100 km to 560 km, the race combines long-distance endurance with technical off-road sections, rolling hills, and scenic backroads. Riders tackle thousands of meters of climbing, navigating self-supported stages that demand careful planning, resilience, and bike-handling skills.

With its mix of gravel trails, country roads, and mountainous terrain, it’s a race that celebrates exploration, self-reliance, and the spirit of adventure for every rider seeking a challenge beyond the pavement.
