Hobby bikers go for Gold at the 12. World
Games of Mountainbiking from 9. - 12. September
2010 in Saalbach Hinterglemm!
Hobby bikers from twenty nations
unite in Saalbach Hinterglemm for the 11th
World Games of Mountainbiking. Around thousand
bikers determine the Amateur World Champion in the
disciplines Marathon, Cross Country, Downhill and Freeride-Eliminator.
The Topography of the Pinzgauer Grass Mountains offers
altitudes between 1,000 and 2,000 metres - an ideal
setup for Marathonists. A total round of 80.44 Kilometres
and an altitude of 3,678 metres which will challenge
the strength and endurance of the Marathon participants.
On the other hand “only” 42.77 Kilometres
and height of 1,980 metres have to be tackled in the
Half Marathon. Perfect for Marathon Novices is the
shorter round with 31 Kilometres and an altitude of
1,160 metres.
The Spectators cheer on their heroes not only at
the Finish line, but also on the highest points of
the route, such as on the Zwölferkogel and on
the Schattberg, where you will be entertained with
Music. The Zwölferkogel and Schattberg are also
easily reachable by the gondola lift for spectators
and companions.
Pure Suspense by Cross Country! Alternating
Up and Downhills and challenging Single trails throughout
the 2,600Metre long circular course call for skill
and endurance. Only who is fit enough to make the final
sprint into the pedestrian area crossing the finishing
line first is a well deserved World Games Champion!
With Full-Speed to the podium! The
varied Downhill course is 1,9
kilometers long and rises to an altitude of 498
meters through varied and, in some cases,
quite demanding terrain on natural
single trails, root and rock sections, jumps
and hairpin bends back down to the centre of Hinterglemm.
Due to the strong demand after resumption of the Summer
operation of the Reiterkogelbahn, the Downhill discipline
is again delivered with the World Games of Mountainbiking.
DUAL-Eliminator: Two Bikers start together on the natural and twisty course – that requests speed and tactics. Who will forge ahead in the first corner?
The riders battle down and only the faster of the two riders qualify for the next round.
A highlight for Kids: the SCOTT
USA Junior Trophy! For once a Mountainbike Race just
like the adult’s race. Riding over the same finishing
terrain as the Professionals. Cheered on by countless
enthusiastic spectators. Get into the race atmosphere,
it’s not only great fun for the Kids but also
for the Parents and Spectators.
The World Games Party in the Marquee on Saturday
evening is legendary. With Live Band Gerry & Gary: The
Munich Musicians will wow the crowd with their performance
and after a couple of minutes everyone will be dancing
on their seats. This event has been an Institution
for a long time for the Hobby Bikers and the Race Calender
would not be the same without it. The Marathon Route
is signposted the whole year through – perfect
for Training for the World Games of Mountainbiking.
