24H-RACE
on the legendary Nürburgring

Since 2003, the 24-hour bicycle race has been an unequalled experience. The atmosphere of the Formula One arena and the challenges of the legendary Nordschleife render the around-the-clock race unique in the world.
24-hour races hold a very special fascination. The athletic and organisational challenges possess a dimension that is out of the ordinary – day and night. An event that is challenging not only to the athletes but to the whole crew of assistants, helpers and friends. For this reason, 24-hour races are not only an athletic contest on the track but at the same time stand for mastering the common challenge. And after a 24-hour ride through the “Green Hell” there are only winners.
During the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring everyone will find their very personal challenge. Individual riders as well as teams of 2, 4 and 8 will compete in the correspondent classifications. Both extreme sport athletes and reasonably trained amateur athletes will equally get their money’s worth.
The 24h version of a lap includes the Grand Prix circuit and the Nordschleife and is 26 km long. Apart from 92 turns it also offers 560 meters of difference in altitude. As expected, the tarmac of the race track is perfect and provides a decent grip, especially in the twisting passages downhill. In the “Fuchsröhre” up to 100 km/h have been measured. But this is by no means mandatory. What cannot be avoided – on the contrary – is the ascent to the section “Hohe Acht”, with a temporary gradient of up to 17 %. Here at the latest also racing cyclists will understand the sobriquet “Green Hell” that was given to the Nürburgring by Formula 1 legend Jackie Stewart in the 70s.
With its Formula 1 infrastructure, the Nürburgring offers the perfect set-up for the 24-hour race. On the ample premises exactly one pit space or parcel is assigned to every team/participant. Each participant’s space is located directly by the race track and offers sufficient space for the team camp.

Nove Colli di Cesenatico 2026
2026-05-17 | Cesenatico, Via del Lavoro 22, Cesenatico, 47042
La Nove Colli di Cesenatico is one of the oldest Gran Fondo cycling race in the world and a competition that has been providing real emotions, shared efforts and the genuine flavour of Italian cycling tradition since 1971. Next year, on 24 May 2026, the Nove Colli will once again bring colour and sporting passion to the Canal Port in Cesenatico, pushing cyclists all the way to the challeng-ing Romagna hills. The Nove Colli is an event that, with its 55 editions, has left permanent memo-ries in the participants’ minds: anticipation, sense of community, concentration… and the adrenaline that rises as the start of the race gets closer. Emotions, with that feeling of belonging linked to cycling that’s so hard to forget, remain impressed forever. Now it’s time to think about the 2026 edition and write a new chapter of a success story together! If you are interested get in touch with Pino Rampini
