Knack' den Tagebau

Get ready for an adrenaline-packed adventure through the stunning Kalksteinate landscape! Whether you're riding on traditional mountain bikes or electric ones, this race promises to be both challenging and exhilarating. For families with young riders, there's a special group event at 09:45 AM where kids can join in on the fun along an exciting 7.4 km loop that starts and ends at Deuna’s sports field.
For more competitive participants, individual time trials begin promptly at 10:05 AM. With only one rider setting off every half-minute, this race is all about precision and speed as you navigate a thrilling 15-kilometer course filled with twists and turns that test your skills and push your limits. The climb of over 200 meters adds an extra challenge to the already dynamic route.
With just 100 spots available for participants, securing a place is crucial if you want to be among those who start first. Entry costs €20 per person but comes with plenty of rewards. Every finisher will receive an exclusive medal, and top three racers in each category are celebrated on the podium.
For younger riders, there’s more than just racing; they can look forward to a certificate, tasty bratwurst, and refreshing drinks at the end. Adult participants won’t miss out either—they’ll be treated with small surprise gift bags filled with sports-related goodies.
Food stalls will be set up along the route so you can refuel after giving it your all on this challenging course. Experience the MTB race in a unique setting where nature meets competition, and discover the Kalksteinate region from its wildest side!
