🔥 Have you ever wondered how far you can ride in 13 hours and 30 minutes?
🇬🇪 May 26 is Georgia’s Independence Day, and we celebrate it our way: on bicycles. We want to continue this tradition this year as well, and we are holding the first 200 km brevet of 2026 on this day.
About the event
A brevet is an international challenge with more than a century of history.
It is a test of your endurance, time management, and planning skills. You are not competing against others, you are competing against your own limits.
Simply put: you earn a finisher medal if you complete 200 km in less than 13 hours and 30 minutes.
- Distance: 200 km
- Time limit: 13 hours 30 minutes
- Format: self-supported
Self-supported means that each participant is personally responsible for: navigation, nutrition, hydration, and technical issues. Outside assistance is not allowed, except for publicly available services.
About the route
We decided to offer 2 options:
- The Gravel route is circular, starting and finishing in Marneuli. However, it includes 23 km of unpaved road, so a Gravel/CX bike is recommended.
- Start - Marneuli
Opens: 09:00 - Checkpoint 1 - Tandzia
Opens: 10:10 (1h 10m)
Closes: 12:00 (3h 0m) - Checkpoint 2 - Gomareti
Opens: 12:14 (3h 14m)
Closes: 16:20 (7h 20m) - Checkpoint 3 - Tetritskaro
Opens: 13:35 (4h 35m)
Closes: 19:24 (10h 24m) - Finish - Marneuli
Closes: 22:30 (13h 30m)
- Start - Marneuli
- The Road route follows the same road for the first half, and then returns on the same paved road, making it suitable for Road bikes.
Who can participate
Participation is open to physically prepared cyclists who are capable of covering a long distance at a steady pace.
Road and Gravel bikes are recommended.
Why it is worth joining
A 200 km brevet is not just a distance. It is a test of willpower, discipline, and mental strength. It is also the first step toward longer brevets: 300 km, 400 km, and 600 km.
Recommendation
Prepare responsibly, ride wisely, and celebrate Georgia’s Independence Day together with your bicycle.
