Difficulty: Moderate terrain with rolling short steep hills or moderate, sustained climbs

Today amateur riders can race in the same place where Rudi Altig won the bicycle World Championship in 1966.

The course is challenging and appealing for hobby athletes as well as for ambitious riders. The course of the amateur races leads over the modern Grand Prix circuit as well as over the legendary Nordschleife.

The public race version of a lap includes the Grand Prix circuit and the Nordschleife and is 24,4 km long. Apart from 84 turns it also offers  560 meters of difference in altitude. As expected, the tarmac of the race track is perfect and provides a decent grip, especially in the twisting passages downhill. In the “Fuchsröhre” up to 100 km/h have been measured. But this is by no means mandatory. What cannot be avoided – on the contrary – is the ascent to the section “Hohe Acht”, with a temporary gradient of up to 17 %. Here at the latest also racing cyclists will understand the sobriquet “Green Hell” that was given to the Nürburgring by Formula 1 legend Jackie Stewart in the 70s.

Participants can choose between three different distances through the “Green Hell”: 25 km, 75 km (3 rounds) or 150 km (6 rounds).

All races will be started simultaneously, each distance in its own block.
