MTB cycling / everyone: 24-hour races are considered the ultimate challenge par excellence - for many mountain bikers even the last true adventure. The participants have to face many trials: not only the fight against the clock costs grains, but also the endless hardships and sleep deprivation. Harsh conditions that can be spread across the team but not eliminated. At the end of a race, however, one thing is certain: the satisfaction of having accepted and passed this challenge!
MTB 24-hour race: An overview of the dates for 2018
24h Alfsee race
The 24-hour mountain bike race at Alfsee will take place in Germany's first Germanic country in 2018. The theme of the new Germanic country is playing and experiencing an earlier world. The extraordinary holiday homes are designed in the style of yesteryear. This special attraction will be right next to the transition area. But not only the special charm and the beautiful route are worth a start, but also the good cause. After deducting all costs, the proceeds from the event go to the Christian Children's Hospital in Osnabrück, as it does every year.
