Arden2Eifel 2027

Arden2Eifel is a 660km non-stop, GPS-tracked self supported MTB bikepacking challenge with a group start and a 100 hour cut-off time for completing the course. It covers an off-road A to B route with 2 staffed checkpoints. It starts in Namur, Belgium and goes from the Ardennes to the Eifel to the historical city of Trier in Germany.

Arden2Eifel spans several days and could be considered ‘mid-distance’ in the line-up of events. The route is purposely made challenging. Participation should not be taken lightly, as it includes various sections that require walking or very technical riding (even more so in the dark). Recommended rig would be a mountainbike.

​The terrain and scenery varies greatly. The surface ranges from broad gravel roads along farm fields with easy gradients to single tracks on steep, rocky hiking paths alongside meandering rivers. Stunning backroads alternate with scenic views and historic landmarks. This challenge is not a race. We strongly emphasize to respect others on the track and local traffic laws.
