Rapha Prestige Bohemia

Rapha Prestige Bohemia

Adventure. Teamwork. Resilience.

The Rapha Prestige tasks teams of four with an all-day adventure across stunning terrain. Unsupported and unmarshalled, the rules are simple: start and finish as a team, and pass through all the checkpoints

Applications are now closed

Rapha will contact successful teams on or after Thursday, 19th July with a payment link.

The Route

Prepare for approximately 180 kilometres of rolling terrain. Expect to be on the bike for up to 10 hours. Starting in the Saxon Switzerland National Park, an extremely challenging route also takes in the upper reaches of the River Elbe and and climbs up the Ještěd mountain with its iconic TV tower. We seek out the roads less travelled, aiming to be quite remote at times. There will be checkpoint locations and a supplied route, which will be revealed only to confirmed participants 48 hours before the ride.

Rules

The Prestige is a completely unsupported ride. You are responsible for navigation and keeping yourself and your team going. Minimum kit should include two tubes, multi-tool, pump, patch kit, and a masterlink. We highly recommend spare kit and nutrition. A paper cue sheet will be supplied as well as a .gpx file.

Teams

Up to 50 teams of four will be confirmed. A number of spaces are guaranteed for Rapha Cycling Club teams.

Entry Cost

Entries cost €120 per team. Each rider receives a complementary cap and musette with an exclusive design unique to the Prestige you’ve ridden. ​There is a feed stop along the way​ and ​we’ll have hot food and a drink for every rider​ at the finish​. We hope you can stay with us to share stories as the sun sets.

Once your application has been accepted, Rapha will be in touch to collect the entry fee. Rapha will supply a payment link to confirmed teams on or after Thursday, 19th July.
