300 kilometers and roughly 3,000 meters of climbing
An epic loop through SalzburgerLand – past emerald lakes and along scenic roads. The grand finale: the Hirschbichl, a final climb with real character.
Those who know it, know: it hurts – but a culinary surprise awaits at the top.

 

Guided groups and strong support
You don’t ride the RUSH300 alone: it’s all about the team – with guided groups matched to your pace.

The pacing groups (24–26 km/h, 27–29 km/h, 30–32 km/h) are led by experienced guides – including well-known personalities like former biathlete Julian Eberhard and RAAM winner Philipp Kaider, who knows how to push through mental lows and master epic distances.
There’s also a Women’s Only Group for female riders.
“Ride your story” – that’s the motto. No race. No pressure. Just maximum emotion and ambition.

“RUSH300 is a powerful example of how sport, nature, and community can be brought together at the highest level. Events like this not only strengthen our tourism positioning, but also offer fresh momentum for a modern sports culture in SalzburgerLand.”
– Stefan Schnöll, Deputy Governor of Salzburg
