On the 300, 160 and 125 km routes, the start is in waves of approximately 50 riders with a few minutes in between. In general, the fastest riders start first in order to minimize overtakings and dangerous situations.

When you register, you rate your own level and choose an expected average speed. This will determine your start time.

Specific for the 300 km: Here, there is a "slow" group starting 30 minutes ahead of the rest of the field in order to give the less strong riders a chance to reach the finish in time. This group contains only the riders with the slowest expected average speed.

You will receive your personal start time on mail approximately 1 week before the race.

Each feed stations is organized by a local club and a team of dedicated volunteers. The club is responsible for running the feed station and helps decide what to serve.

Several feed stations serve local specialties, while others have become almost legendary for a particular dish – like the famous “Prairie Soup” in Nørre Snede.
