Race Course

You can find the current track here. However, please note that there may be slight changes. 
The entire route will be clearly marked. We recommend having the route uploaded to your watch or phone. We will send the final GPX files for the whole route and individual sections in the days leading up to the race. 
The handovers correspond to the starting and finishing points of the marked sections and will always be managed by our team of volunteers. Each handover also acts as a refreshment station - expect at least water, isotonic drinks, fruit, and cola. We will finalize the menu in the weeks before the race.

We are preparing musical accompaniment or other attractions for some handovers.

More rules

In the team category, each team can only use one vehicle for transportation. We aim to be as considerate as possible and do not want to overload local roads. It is possible that we may mark your vehicle to make it clear that it belongs to a racing team within the Li.t.r. The vehicle can be driven by a member of the racing team, but it is not mandatory.

In the team category, you can switch on the sections as you like and it's possible to connect multiple sections consecutively. However, each team member must complete at least one section. You can choose sections based on which surface or difficulty suits you best.
