Ultra
TORTOUR Ultra is the largest multi-day non-stop ultracycling event in the world. The race, which starts and finishes in Zurich, demands everything from cyclists and their crew: a 1000-kilometer non-stop race over several Alpine passes around Switzerland can be conquered in just two days – day and night, solo or in a team.

The CHALLENGE is its own, shorter race format as part of the TORTOUR. The start and finish of the route are in Zurich. The approximately 550 kilometers allow for easier preparation, less effort and still a great race. The individual riders and teams need 14 to 28 hours for this route.
Sprint
SPRINT is a complementary racing format to the multi-day non-stop ultracycling event TORTOUR and CHALLENGE.

As a solo rider, it’s a pretty long individual time trial through the beautiful pre-alpine landscape and experiencing unforgettable emotions.
