The Route
The race covers 400 km on scenic roads, starting and finishing in Copenhagen.
The journey begins with a 60 km stretch across Sjælland, passing inland near Esrum Sø before reaching Helsingør, home to the historic Kronborg Castle. From Helsingør, riders take a short ferry ride to Helsingborg, Sweden (crossing time: 20 minutes).
In Sweden, you embark on a 300 km loop through rolling countryside, open fields, meadows, and dense forests, tackling challenging hills and passing through national parks. After completing the Swedish section, riders return via ferry to Helsingør for the final 40 km push to Copenhagen along the picturesque Strandvejen coastal road.
Riders can choose to complete the complete race in one or two days. Those riding non-stop will take on the ultimate challenge, while those opting for a two-day experience are recommended to stay overnight in Älmhult, which is midway along the route.
The majority of the route (90%) is asphalt and the rest are short smooth gravel sections (this is doable with a road bike).
It’s up to you to decide which type of bike you choose, as long as it’s a non-electric bicycle. We recommend a road bike, but it’s also possible with a gravel bike, time trail bike, or mountain bike.
