“We are very pleased that the large road constructions in the southern part of Tartu are finished and we can take the course back to its roots,” sais the Race Director Indrek Kelk. “This will surely give beautiful views as well as refreshing change from the routes of the last two years. The finish venue will remain traditionally in the center of town on Turu Street. In order to organize the wave starts, the start location will be in the southern part of the city,” he explains.  

 

The main distance of 126 km offers exciting and varied race experiences. The first part is mostly flat and fast with a relatively easy profile. However, there are sections open to the wind which may impact the speed. 

 

In the second third of the route, the typical rolling landscapes of South Estonia start with stunning views and a more demanding profile. 

 

The last third includes sections from the old Post Road, considered one of Estonia's most beautiful roads. Before turning back to Tartu, it continues with a rolling profile and surrounding forests protecting cyclists against the wind. 

 

In addition to the 126 km, 56 km and 17 km distances are also available.
