BORDERLINE700 is a cycling adventure all about pushing limits, embracing the unknown and adding a touch of madness to the ride.

Yes, BORDERLINE700 is technically a race but it’s up to you how you approach it. Some riders go all-in and race against the clock, while others treat it as a personal adventure, setting their own pace, breaks, and goals along the way.

It is one long stage of about 700 km with roughly 5,000 meters of elevation gain. You’ll have 60 hours (2.5 days) to complete the stage. Don’t worry if you take a little longer. You can still cross the finish line, and celebrated as a finisher. Your time will be recorded, but will not count towards the leaderboard.

BORDERLINE700 is for anyone with a sense of adventure. Whether you’re a beginner taking on your first big cycling challenge, or a seasoned rider using it as the perfect preparation for the season ahead, this event is about pushing your own limits at your own pace. You don’t need to be a pro just motivated to ride, explore and see how far you can go.

A reliable bike (not electric), basic gear for long-distance riding and most importantly: a good dose of courage.

To make the official ranking, complete the route within 60 hours. Finishing later is no problem at all! You'll still be recognized as a finisher with a recorded time, even if you don't appear on the formal leaderboard. Your completion is what matters!

Being self-supported means you complete the Borderline700 entirely on your own — without any outside assistance. You carry your own gear, find your own food, water, and rest, and handle problems yourself. Only resources that are publicly available to all riders — like repair shops, cafés and hotels — may be used. No team cars, friends or family support are allowed.

It’s just you, your bike and the road.

Yes! You can sign up either as a solo rider or as a pair. If you ride solo, you must cycle independently and cannot draft behind other riders. If you register as a pair, you are allowed to ride together, support each other, and share the workload.

The Race Manual is your essential guide to the Borderline700. It covers all the rules, what gear you need, how checkpoints work, and what self-supported means. Reading it is mandatory for all participants, as you will sign an agreement confirming you accept its contents.

Because you have to be a little crazy to do it. It’s an adventure on the borderline between madness and brilliance.
