In addition to the spectacular racing highlights, an interesting preview of the top models for the coming season awaits in the large exhibitor area.
After the Out of Bounds Festival, which attracted a record number of spectators in June, the next event highlight awaits in the Saalfelden Leogang bike region with the renowned BIKE Festival from 13 to 15 September. From enduro to pump track to marathon: mountain bikers will be challenged once again in a wide variety of mountain biking disciplines at the end of the season.
Four spectacular racing highlights in a wide variety of disciplines
The GHOST Recon Ride kicks off this year's programme highlights on Friday. In this fun event for everyone aged 16 and over, it is up to the participants to find ten landmarks on the region's most beautiful trails and complete five action stations.
The Rocky Mountain BIKE Marathon is the sporting highlight on Saturday. There are three distances to choose from (short distance 32 km / 1,500 m elevation gain; medium distance 66 km / 2,800 m elevation gain; long distance 78 km / 3,400 m elevation gain). Participants can look forward to the brand new Steinberg-Line by Fox, which will be part of the marathon this year.
For the first time at the BIKE Festival, a qualifying race for the largest and most famous pump track race series in the world will also take place on the brand new Velosolutions Pump Track on Saturday. The four fastest men and women will qualify in Leogang for the grand finale of the RedBull Pump Track World Championships in Bern.
The crowning finale of the festival is the final of the SCOTT Enduro Series on Sunday. The race series with exciting stages and new sections will crown its overall winners on the Sunday of the festival.

The supporting programme of the BIKE Festival Saalfelden Leogang also offers plenty of action, with the SCOTT Junior Trophy on the new pump track, test rides for e-mountain bikers and the trade fair with around 80 exhibitors and 150 brands, where you can already test the trends and products of 2020.

There are also some special offers: BIKE Festival visitors receive a 20 per cent discount on all bike park tickets, the Asitzbahn cable car is also extending its operating times and will take bikers up the mountain until 17:30 on Friday and 17:00 at the weekend.
