Signature sections
Solarer Berg
Iconic bike climb lined with thousands of roaring spectators, Tour-de-France style — the emotional highlight.
Two bike loops
The 180 km bike is two laps of rolling Bavarian countryside, climbing steadily through the villages between the canal and the Franconian hills.
Main-Danube Canal run
The flat marathon runs largely along the canal towpath, finishing in the Roth stadium.
