TORTOUR 1000
The TORTOUR 1000 is the largest multi-day non-stop ultracycling event in the world. The race with start and finish in Küsnacht demands everything from cyclists and their crew: In just two days, a 1000-kilometer non-stop race course in Switzerland has to be mastered – day and night, solo or in a team. The hard, sweaty adventure promises unforgettable emotions and a unique cycling experience. The official Swiss Ultracycling Championships are held in this format every year.
All participants under 25 benefit from a 50% discount on the entry fee. For teams, all members must be U25 for the discount to apply.
