Since years, the organization aims to encourage newcomers for the mountain bike sport. There are various course lengths suitable for any ability. The time limits are set in such a way that no one has to quit the race, even when going less than 10 km per hour. Numerous refreshment stops along the course will recharge your battery and at the finishing line a quick regeneration is guaranteed by a team of masseurs. No matter if one tackles the 27.4 km Rookie’s marathon (723 m altitude difference), 37.4 km (1.055 m altitude difference), 54 km (1.539 m altitude difference), 71.9 (2.355 m altitude difference) or the 119.1 km distance (3.914 m altitude difference) - at the finishing line every finisher will be celebrated like a winner and all starters have the same chance of winning the first prize! After the winners' ceremony all attendees participate in a tombola with prizes worth more than € 6500,-!

The Salzkammergut dedicated the extreme course to all "Adrenalin Junkies"! More than 210 kilometres and an incredible 7.175 meters altitude difference - this is the Salzkammergut's extreme distance and also Europe's toughest Mountain Bike Marathon! With a drop out rate up to 50 % this course is even daunting for such die-hards like Gerrit Glomser, Wolfgang Fasching, Stefan Danowski or Tinker Juarez. Besides great physical shape it demands above all huge technical skills.

Last come, first served! The Slow Motion Rating adds up the times of all bikers of a team. Therefore the three teams being the slowest in total are winning the prizes. This is an advantage for those teams who have many participants in the race, who drive the longest courses and reach the finishing line just before the time limit is in effect. Prizes worth more than Euro 15.000,- are waiting for the winners!
