Official event pageWhat this race demands
Rund um Berlin requires sustained endurance over a 228-kilometer distance with modest elevation gain through the Brandenburg countryside.
Aero efficiency
Covering 228 kilometers largely on flat roads requires maintaining a steady, efficient aerodynamic position for many hours.
Nutritional consistency
The long duration demands continuous carbohydrate intake and hydration management to prevent late-race fatigue.
Group riding
A historic long-distance cycling format over roads surrounding Berlin makes efficient drafting and pacing within a peloton essential.
Target 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain energy levels across an estimated duration of seven to nine hours.
