FAQs
What are the course options and what kind of terrain can I expect?+
There are two main routes: Peyote (180 km with 4300m of elevation) and Calumet (150 km with 3200m of elevation). Both traverse the Umbrian Apennines on off-road trails featuring technical climbs and descents, singletrack sections, and potentially some hike-a-bike (portage).
What kind of bike is recommended for Augh 2026?+
A gravel bike with wide tires (at least 700x42/45 or 650) and soft gearing for climbing is highly recommended. A mountain bike is also a suitable option. E-bike charging is not guaranteed at the village.
Is a medical certificate required to participate?+
Yes, an agonistic medical certificate specifically for cycling or for sports with high cardiovascular demands, issued by a sports medical center, is mandatory and must be submitted by the event date. Non-compliance will result in non-participation and no refund.
What is included in the registration fee?+
The 110€ fee includes the GPX tracks, dinner and breakfast at the village, aid stations, a race goodie bag, luggage transport to the village, a spot for your tent at the village, showers and other services, a finisher beer, and CSI membership.
How does the overnight stay at the village work?+
The village, located at approximately 900m altitude, offers a field for pitching your tent. There's also a wooden structure with a capacity for about 30 people where you can sleep with a sleeping bag and mat. Bookings for the structure are not managed, and nearby accommodation is not available.
