Where and what?
Enter Alutaguse Tervisespordikeskus into Google Maps or Waze. It takes about 2 hours to drive from Tallinn and 1 hour 45 minutes from Tartu. You can also find the location here.
Large parking lots are located to the right when entering the venue. Please follow the instructions of the parking attendants to ensure smooth parking for everyone. The furthest cars will be about 300 meters from the competition center. See the venue map here.
The information board is located to the right at the entrance gate.
Race numbers can be picked up in the tent to the right after entering through the gates; children’s race numbers are available in the tent on the left.
There is no cloakroom service. However, the secretariat will accept car keys for safekeeping — you don’t need to take them onto the course.
Shower facilities are available in the center’s main building; follow the signs on site. The water temperature in the nearby lakes (Liivjärv, Rääkjärv) is around 16°C — a refreshing dip awaits the brave.
Toilets are well-marked and available in the lower parking area, indoors, and outside.
After finishing, participants are served soup, bread, curd snack, juice, and pastries near the café at the stadium. The café is open from the morning.
Bosch Bike Wash is located near the entrance to the center — follow the signs or check the venue map.
Start corridors accommodate 50 participants each and open 15 minutes before the start. You can check your start group here.
The Course
- Main distance: 47 km
- Youth & Recreational ride: 19 km
- Distance markers are placed every 5 kilometers counting down (e.g., 35 km to go, etc.).
Hazardous sections:
- Rocky descents in the quarry — follow the signage! If you see a 3-arrow warning sign before the descent, take it seriously.
- In wet weather, rocks and roots may become slippery.
- Experience from 10 years shows that thin “paper tires” are not suitable for Alutaguse.
- Make sure to bring a spare tire and pump or CO₂ cartridge. If you don’t have one, see the next point.
- Each feed zone (TP) provides a limited number of spare tires and pumping options free of charge.
- A cyclist follows at the end of each race group, carrying spare tires, Enervit energy bars, and offering company and assistance if needed.
Course Markings:
- We follow UCI (International Cycling Union) standards with yellow background signage.
- The course is marked with arrows and tape.
- About 600 markers are placed throughout the forest.
Intermediate Sprint:
- On the main course, there is an intermediate sprint at 28.5 km. The first five riders earn points towards the most active rider competition.
Feed Zones:
- The 19 km course has two feed zones at 10.5 km and 13 km.
- The 47 km course has three feed zones at 15 km, 30 km, and 40 km.
- Each feed zone has designated trash zones before and after — please dispose of waste only in these areas to help us quickly clean up after the race. We are in a nature reserve!
If you see another participant in need of help on the course, inform the nearest course marshal, the next feed zone, or call 112 if necessary. Let’s look after each other!
Live Results and GPS Tracking:
