Istria300 - The new sports experience for ambitious cycling fans from all over the world

On October 10, 2020, the Istria300 will transform the Croatian coastal town of Porec into the Mecca of international cycling. Under the motto, "Ride your Limits" Istria offers optimum conditions for amateur cyclists who want to face a great sporting challenge. Anybody who ever wanted to experience the picturesque landscape of Istria on closed roads, can fulfill their dream.

What makes the Istria300 so special?

With the Istria300, the athletes only decide on the course which distance they ultimately want to cover. With 300 km, 235 km and 155 km there are three-course variants. If, for example, an athlete notices on the course that his legs are still fresh, he can opt for the more extended courses. Therefore, the event is a challenge for almost every level. Besides, epic bike routes along the most beautiful roads of Istria with spectacular views guarantee a cycling experience of a lifetime.

Colorful supporting program at Istria300

However, the Istria300 is "only" the highlight of a four-day cycling event. From October 8 to October 11, 2020, the Istria300 Expo will offer everything the heart of cycling desires. Exciting lectures, as well as a specific family program are spectacular components of an unforgettable event in Porec.

Pre-registrations are already possible

There is good news for all those who can't wait to sign up for the new fixed event in their cycling calendar. From now on and until December 9, pre-registrations are possible at www.istria300.com. With the pre-registration, the most discounted starting fee is guaranteed to the participants. The official registration opens after the presentation of the final courses on December 10, 2019.

The Istria300 organizers – a top international team

Behind the new cycling highlight are the two organizers, Julius Rupitsch and Vladimir Miholjevic, whose names both stand for sporting events of the highest quality. Among other events, Rupitsch is the organizer of the prestigious Großglockner Berglauf in Austria.

Race Director Vladimir Miholjevic knows what cyclists want. He was a pro cyclist for many years and competed in almost all big UCI World Tour Races. Now he is Sports Director in the Bahrain Merida Team. From 2015 to 2018, he was the organizer of the Tour of Croatia, and in 2019 he organized the CroRace, the successor event to the Tour of Croatia.

Both of them are looking forward to providing the region with a new sporting highlight from which local tourism will also benefit. Event Director Julius Rupitsch is ready for this exciting task: "In Porec we have found the perfect environment to organize an innovative and modern cycling event with international appeal. With the Istria300 we want to make the region especially attractive to the worldwide cycling community".
