38. Haller Berg- und Talfahrt RTF 2026

The Haller Berg- und Talfahrt RTF begins at the vocational college sports halls on Bahnhofstrasse in Halle, Westphalia. Road cyclists can start between 09:00 and 10:00. RC Teuto organizes the ride, now in its 38th edition. It follows the German RTF format: a non-racing road cycling tour with marked routes, checkpoints, and various distances. Registration is possible on the day, ideally via the GC Touren App. The entry fee is 10 euros, or 6 euros for license holders. E-bike riders are welcome, provided motor support is capped at 25 km/h. The ride provides four GPX-downloadable routes. The shortest is a 55 km option, mostly flat with a rolling middle section and 350 meters of elevation gain. Longer routes are 80 km with 580 meters, 116 km with 780 meters, and 156 km with 1,140 meters. The longest route is not signposted, requiring self-navigation. Up to four food stops are available along the routes, with some longer options returning to the same stops. The name reflects the format: this is a hill-and-valley road ride suitable for first-time RTF participants, club cyclists, e-bike users, and those seeking a longer ride.
