What to Expect on Monaco di Baviera Classic

Monaco di Baviera Classic stands as the pinnacle of unsupported ultracycling challenges—an epic test of endurance, determination, and spirit.

Embark on this legendary adventure from the heart of Munich, Germany, at the break of dawn on 20st June 2026, and brace yourself for an unforgettable ride.

The base fixed route spans a staggering 1,300 km, ascending 23,550 meters, through a land of breathtaking landscapes and hard terrain. 98.9% of the path is pure tarmac, with just a hint of off road —1.1% between gravel and cobbled sections. Along the way, score as many points as you can within the Explorer Point sections. The new MdBC legends will score all the 100 points, riding 1.537 Km with 31.810m in total. A minimum of 20 points are required to qualify as a finisher. The more points, the better classification.

What makes the Monaco di Baviera Classic truly unique is the combination of beauty and brutality: a route that takes you through some of the most stunning landscapes in the world, crossing both the Alps and the Dolomites. Much of the journey unfolds away from traffic, along dedicated cycling paths that let you immerse yourself fully in the experience. At the same time, it is one of the toughest ultradistance challenges on the global scene—an extreme test shaped by relentless climbing, punishing gradients, and long hours spent at high altitude.

The clock will relentlessly tick toward the 27th of June 2026, as you push to reach the finish before the sun dips below the horizon.

This is more than just a ride—it’s a journey of endurance and discovery, where every rider who dares to start writes their own story.
