RUSH300 Saalfelden Leogang

Road cycling highlight in SalzburgerLand
September 21, 2025 – a must for all long-distance lovers.

RUSH300 is about more than just distance. It’s about togetherness. The thrill at the starting line, the buzz in your legs, the mental strength on the final climb – and that unmatched feeling of crossing the finish line together.

On this day, Saalfelden Leogang becomes the stage for one of Austria’s most spectacular cycling adventures.
RUSH300 brings together ambitious road cyclists and sports enthusiasts from various disciplines – united in a challenge that gets under your skin.

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

Support like in the pro peloton
Four premium feed zones, mechanical service, support vehicles, and a dedicated media team – everything’s in place so you can focus on one thing: ride, push through, enjoy.
