How far can you get on an aerodynamic bicycle in a quarter of a day? That is the question that the 6 hour race answers. The world record is 376.05 km. This endurance race has a dedicated fanbase but it is quite small because of the skills required. Therefore we also organize a 3 hour race, which starts halfway the 6 hour race, so that the 6 hour racers get good company during the toughest part of the race.
The following rules apply to the 3 and 6 hour races.
- The 6 hour race starts at 10 am, the 3 hour race joins at 1 pm. A large clock will display remaining time.
- When the race time is up, all riders get the finish flag. Rank is based on total distance covered.
- Prizes are awarded for the 3 hour and 6 hour races independently.
- For the impact of your 3 or 6 hour result on your overall ranking, see the overall ranking page.
