Tour de Mátra

The Mátra mountains define this race: challenging road cycling on well-known routes, culminating at Kékestető, the region's highest peak. Now in its sixth year, the Tour de Mátra is part of the "UCI Gran Fondo World Series Hungary," lending it a more competitive tone than a typical weekend ride. It is designed for amateur cyclists seeking a genuine challenge, beyond just a marked course and a results list. The day's character will be set by the ascent, as a "legendary mountain finish" influences all preceding sections. The event also offers a three-day sporting and cultural program, including time trial and fondo events alongside the main road races. The added incentive is the opportunity to qualify for the world championships, along with the unique prospect of riding "with a true legend."
