At the Tartu Rattaralli Gran Fondo, all distances begin with a ceremonial start. This is a traditional part of the event, where cyclists begin riding in a neutralized zone at a calm pace and move through the city under the guidance of organizers before the technical start is given and riders are allowed to choose their own racing speed.

The neutralized zone is 2.7 km for the 135 km and 61 km distances, and 3.3 km for the 27 km distance. In this section, participants ride in a group at a limited speed, and overtaking the lead vehicle is prohibited. The ceremonial start continues until the “Technical Start” or “0 km” mark, where riders are signaled and the actual race begins.

The purpose of the neutralized zone is to ensure participant safety and reduce crashes at the start.
