Cycling: With the Tour de Suisse Challenge taking place in 2015, amateur cyclists can compete on the original routes of the pros as part of the Tour de Swiss. Both individual and team races are held.
The start of the amateur race will take place on June 13, 2015 around Risch-Rotkreuz. A few hours before the pros roll off the starting ramp, the amateur riders will be at the start for the prologue. The mostly flat course has a length of 5,1 kilometers and 44 meters in altitude. In the early morning of the following day, June 14, 2015, the Morgarten Memorial road race starts for amateur drivers. The route on Lake Zug and Lake Aegeri offers participants some challenging climbs over a length of 81,6 kilometers and 936 meters in altitude. In the afternoon, the pros will compete for victory on the same track. A week later, on June 21, 2015, hobby drivers can determine who is the fastest among themselves at the Cornercard City Circle street race. The wavy profile gives cyclists a total of 956 meters in altitude over 76,4 kilometers.
At the Tour de Suisse Challenge, the participants are offered a comprehensive service. This includes, among other things, professional transponder timekeeping, drinking bottle service, technical support before and during the race and a professional medical service. Each participant receives a jersey and a starting number. The awards ceremony for the first-placed takes place in the start/finish area on the original podium. It is already possible to register for the respective races.
