About this race
Hvidovre CK - Gadeløb is a street cycling series held in Hvidovre, Denmark, starting and finishing at Hvidovre City Hall. Hvidovre Cykel Klub organizes it for riders from Danish Cycling Union clubs. The format features short, fast circuit races instead of a long road race. The route is fully closed to traffic, with races run on time plus one final lap. A senior race in this format lasts approximately 45 minutes, considerably shorter than a classic road race of about 100 km.
The typical City Hall circuit measures around 2 km, utilizing streets like Hvidovrevej, Risbjerggårds Alle, Idrætsvej, Krogstens Alle, and Vestkærs Alle. Riders frequently pass spectators, making the race easily viewable from the roadside. The numerous corners emphasize bike handling and hard acceleration out of turns over pure endurance. The event also accommodates youth racing through the Young Riders concept in the morning, where the mayor presents medals. The event area offers food from Risbjerggård Spisehus and ice cream from Familiens Ishus.
