Self-supported ultracycling race of about 1,100 km across Germany from Flensburg on the Danish border to Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the Alps.
What this race demands
This 1,100 km self-supported ride demands prolonged endurance, controlled pacing and the ability to manage food and other needs while riding over multiple days. The route runs from Flensburg to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, but its elevation gain is not stated, so the climbing demand cannot be quantified.
Prolonged endurance
The 1,100 km distance requires sustaining riding effort over a very long period, likely spanning multiple days.
Pacing and durability
Riders must manage effort and preserve their capacity to keep riding across the full distance rather than relying on short bursts of speed.
Self-supported management
Because the race is self-supported, riders must manage their own food and other needs during the event.
For an event likely to last well over 2.5 hours, plan a consistent carbohydrate intake in the range of 60–90 g/h, adjusted to what you can tolerate over multiple days.
Estimated finish times
Estimates by level, not promises. Your own number depends on your fitness on the day.
