  • Always keep your eyes on your bike when you take a break! If you sleep in a hotel, try to arrange for your bike to rest in your room.

  • Registration for the event is subject to acceptance of the rules and 18 years of age.

Riding

​​

  1. The Hungarian Divide is a self-supported biking event. You have to carry and arrange your equipment, food and refreshments.

  2. Ride on your own power. It is not allowed to shorten the route or use any outside help.

  3. Ride any kind of bicycle. It is recommended to have derailleurs, and at least 40 mm wide tires. 40+ mm may even be better at times.

  4. The event will not be cancelled due to weather conditions. If extreme, the organizer may decide otherwise.

  5. Every rider must follow the route. All riders will be followed via an online tracking system. Only the riders finishing within the cutoff time, having completed the entire route will be acknowledged as official finishers. 

  6. It is allowed to leave the track but once you would like to continue you must start from the same spot where you left the track.

  7. To cross rivers, you can only use a ferry. (only at 1 designated point on route)

  8. Although it is not a race, time is measured constantly from start to finish. There will be fast and faster riders. Cut-off time is 6 days for the half distance, 9 days for the full distance riders.

  9. Everybody who will complete the course is a winner, although we might give special credit to outstanding performances. We believe that not only a fast ride can be remarkable. Think of Lanterne Rouge for a moment.

  10. Buy your fellow riders a beer or coffee. Helping each other, and sharing experiences is strongly encouraged by the organizer

​
