RUSH300 – 300 kilometers. 2,500 meters of elevation gain. An unforgettable day.
Starting point: Ritzensee, Saalfelden Leogang. The day is still calm over the lake – but what follows is anything but quiet.
Road bike highlight in the Salzburg region
The RUSH300 is about more than kilometers:
300 kilometers. 2,500 meters of altitude.
The route is an epic loop through the Salzburg region – with a detour into the Bavarian Alpine foothills. It passes emerald green lakes, through wide valleys, over picturesque panoramic roads, and constantly offers impressive Alpine views.
Particularly charming: the passage towards Lake Chiemsee, the “Bavarian Riviera”. Wide landscape, open roads – before heading back to Austria and the backdrop of Saalfelden Leogang shapes the last kilometers.
The crowning finale leads back to the Ritzensee – where the riders roll together into the finish line after 300 kilometers and 2,500 meters of altitude.
Guided groups & strong names
At the RUSH300 you don’t ride alone:
It’s all about teamwork – in guided groups, tailored to your pace.
The pacing groups are supervised by experienced guides – including real heavyweights such as ex-biathlete Julian Eberhard, RAAM winner Philipp Kaider and Simon Geschke.
“Ride your story” – that’s the motto.
No race. No pressure. But maximum emotion and ambition.
Light version for beginners
The RUSH300 Light Version.
It starts together with the 300 km route, branches off along the way and ultimately leads to the finish line at 160 km and 1,500 meters of altitude.
This allows ambitious amateur riders to be part of the adventure – with the same community and the same experience, just a little shorter.
Support like in the professional peloton
Four high-quality catering stations, mechanic service, support vehicle and a dedicated media team – everything is there so you can concentrate on one thing: pedaling, pushing through, enjoying.
Saalfelden Leogang – internationally known from the MTB world – shows its road bike side at the RUSH300: The region impresses with a growing community, fascinating natural scenery and a strong commitment to sporting events with quality.
The Ritzensee forms the start and finish backdrop – and in the evening everyone who made it celebrates this great day together.
