Entries for the inaugural Haute Route Qingcheng are now open
The latest in the series of new Haute Route events, the inaugural Haute Route Qingcheng is set to take place from Friday 25th to Sunday 27th October 2019.
Located in the city of Dujiangyan at the foot of the Tibetan plateau, the course for the inaugural edition will include the Qingcheng mountain. Participants will have exclusive access to this road up one of the most famous Taoist mountains in China as it is usually closed to the public. Featuring two classic stages and an uphill time trial, riders will get to experience memorable riding through colourful ancient towns, incredible temples and bamboo forests.
The event offers riders the opportunity to take on the challenge of the Original course or to ride the Compact course which provides the same experience but on an easier route featuring fewer kilometres and less climbing for each stage.
The first 100 entries are now available at the early bird price of RMB 4899 (around €480) with prices rising during phase two of the entry process. Sign up now to avoid missing out and guarantee your spot on the start line!
