Race course

Race course consist of mostly natural terrain, hiking trails, purpose build enduro trails, grassy ski slopes, and sections from Levi bike park. The terrain on stages will be very varied and by the nature of local soil, there will be plenty of rocks. On transition stages we will use both pedal power and gondola ski lift depending on which stage we are heading to. Most stages will have between 200 - 300m of altitude drop.

Pyöränkuljetus

Matkajärjestelyiden helpottamiseksi, Levi on järjestänyt pyörän kuljetuspalvelun. Näin voitte optimoida autoon mahtuvan henkilömäärän, tai kätevästi käyttää julkisia vaihtoehtoja Leville saapumiseen, kun pyörä saa laitettua muuhun kyytiin.

Pyörän voi jättää kuljetukseen Vantaalla, Tampereella, ja Jyväskylässä. Hinta 30€ edestakaisin.

Pyörien tuonti terminaaleihin:

Perjantaina 16.7.2021 klo 8.00 – 17.00
Maanantaina 19.7. klo 8.00 – 10.00 (Vantaa), klo 8.00 - 12.00 (Tampere ja Jyväskylä)

Pyörät haettavissa terminaaleista maanantaina 26.7. klo 12.00 alkaen.

Varaa pyörän kuljetus täältä: https://my.raceresult.com/167189/registration?mode=1&contest=110&lang=fi

Siellä puhutaan Ylläs-Levi MTB:stä, (joka ajetaan aikaisemmin viikolla myöskin osana Levi Bikefestiä), sama kyyti toimii myös enduristeille.

Varaa kyyti pyörällesi pikimmiten!
