In 2026, cyclists will face six mandatory segments. Between them, everyone plans their own route and chooses where to go. You will find the prescribed segments in the Mandatory Segments section once registration opens.
Check-in: 8 May 2026 from 13:00–20:00 at RimRebellion (Košická 27, 821 09 Bratislava)
Start: 9 May 2026 at 07:00 at RimRebellion (Košická 27, 821 09 Bratislava)
Finish: Hotel Bocy (Municipality of Oščadnica)
Time limit: None, but we will be waiting for you at the finish until 12:00 on 14 May.
Afterparty: 15 May (venue to be announced in time)
Registration opens: 7 November 2025
Entry fee: €99 (from 1 January 2026 the fee is €119)
Route length: ~1,000 km / ~650 km
Maximum number of participants: 160 (combined across both categories)
Entry fee and possible refunds
The entry fee is €99 for participants who pay by 31 December 2025, and €119 for payments after that date.
- If you have paid the entry fee but cannot attend, we will refund half of the fee until 28 February. Alternatively, you may find a replacement rider by 19 April.
Why not a full refund? Your participation involves costs for tracker rental, production of cycling caps, and other starter pack items. We also aim to secure at least two media teams to document your adventure on the route, which includes photographers’ fees and fuel costs.
You may find a replacement by 19 April. Finding replacements, especially shortly before the race, is the responsibility of the withdrawing participant. People who registered but did not make the start list due to capacity limits often cannot take time off or are not physically ready on short notice. We also cannot proactively recruit replacements right before the event when our workload is highest.
Starter pack
All registered participants will find in their starter pack a cotton tote with the race logo, a race-design cycling cap, various discounts for shops with cycling and bikepacking gear, and promotional items. The list of partners will be updated gradually.
Get a 25% discount on premium apparel and accessories from the iconic CAFÉ DU CYCLISTE brand, including bikepacking equipment and the AUDAX collection designed for maximum comfort, functionality, and durability on long rides. Every participant will also find a small gift in the starter pack.
All riders will receive a trial of a premium Ride with GPS account to plan their routes between the mandatory segments and future adventures using advanced tools.
Discount on vehicle rentals with kit for traveling with bikes. Download the Škoda GO app, choose Auto Lamač as the pick-up location, and enter the code Race10 for a 10% discount. The code is valid from March.
Švihaj Šop will not only keep the vibes high during check-in, but will also help with last-minute bike issues. You will also receive a discount to their store specializing in bikepacking and courier gear.
Coffee at the finish will be provided by Diamonds Roastery. If you like this roastery from Dunajská Lužná as much as we do, you can already order their products at a better price.
