What makes this event so unique is that it has open status, meaning that the event welcomes entries from development teams to local clubs and also international federations whilst all competing on an even keel.
The seven-hour program hosts more than 100 riders and also features two sprint and three endurance championships, with prices and trophies handed out for the winners.
The event also includes mixed sprint and men’s & women’s endurance whilst qualifying for the sprints in only the men’s endurance.
