Course Marking

The course will be finalized and prepared on the day of the event. In an effort to protect the forests and natural areas where the race takes place, the course will not be marked excessively. With this in mind, we kindly ask you to review the course map before the race, pay close attention to the existing signs, and follow the volunteers’ directions. Detailed information about the course marking will be shared in the Participant Guide during the week of the event.

LIMITED SPOTS
The 2025 edition of the event is limited to 1,000 participants to ensure a well-balanced race experience.

ON-SITE REGISTRATION
On-site registration for this event is NOT available.

REGISTRATION FOR CHILDREN AGED 5 TO 13
Each child must have a personal account on the Riders Club platform, created by a parent or guardian, and must be registered for the event. We recommend that all children be accompanied on the course. One person may accompany multiple children. The accompanying adult must also be registered (with a confirmed payment) in one of the races available for accompanying participants.

FAMILY REGISTRATION
We offer a 25% discount for families of at least 3 members – two parents and one child, or one parent and two children. Here’s how it works:

  • Complete the registrations (reservations) in the system for the entire family;

  • Send an email to contact@ridersclub.ro with the registration details, including rider IDs (available in personal profiles) or the email addresses associated with the Riders Club accounts;

  • We will confirm the discount application. After that, you can log in and complete the payment.
    A close family member (e.g., grandparent, uncle) may register in place of one parent.

E-MTB TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
The following technical specifications apply to E-MTB races:

  • The bike must be powered by two energy sources: human pedaling power and an electric motor that only assists while pedaling;

  • Only one battery is allowed for the entire race;

  • Assistance without pedaling (walk mode) is allowed up to a max speed of 6 km/h;

  • E-bikes that have been modified or tuned beyond the manufacturer's original specifications are NOT permitted. Any modification to the bike, software, motor, or battery may lead to disqualification from the race and future Riders Club events;

  • All E-MTB participants must undergo a technical check at the AmBike tent in the start area, at least 60 minutes before their race. Skipping this check will result in disqualification from the race rankings;

  • At the end of the race, the average speed of each E-MTB participant will be calculated. Participants with an average speed exceeding 27 km/h will be disqualified from the rankings.

RAFFLE
All race participants will automatically be entered into the event raffle. Winners will be randomly selected (via random.org). If you are among the winners, you must present your race number to claim your prize. Details about the prizes will be announced closer to race day.
