The II. Hungarian Divide has started

With the TOUR (supported) category starting on the 13th the II. Hungarian Divide is officially on it's way.

While this category is only to complete the half distance until Budapest, and is not meant to involve a lot of racing, we get our share of competitiveness in this field as well. There is a familiar face in the crowd, Vedran Gracan who came 4th in this year's Italy Divide.

We asked him about his goals and he was excited to say that he is aiming for a 2 day finish. Let's see what the course has to say about that! The current FKT is 48 hours from last year but that was in the ooposite direction and it was also 120 km shorter.

Following Vedran we excpect to see this year's Balaton Bike Derby TOUR cat . winner Tamás Király and well-known hungarian ultra-runner Norbert Szász to fight for the podium.

In the field there are lots of Hungarian bikepacking advocates like Balázs Boros (Mokush) who is a very talented bikepacking bag manufacturer from Hungary.

Other than the half distance story line, most of the entrants and enthusiasts, are looking for adventures and fun. The more race orientated SOLO category starts 1 day later, on Saturday the 14th of August.

The Hungarian Divide is the ultimate MTB adventure challenge through Hungary. Although Hungary may be thought of as flat, it very much isn't! Riders will face nearly 24,000 m of elevation gain through the 1,450 km full distance course. It is most suitable for a MTB, as we cross all mountain highlights of the country, including its highest peak: the Kékes at 1,014m. The half Divide is 730 km with 13k elevation gain, and the full is 1400 km with 23k elevation gain. The categories are SOLO (unsupported) and TOUR (support allowed)
