STAGE 2 – CIRCUIT RACE @ CMRU CAMPUS

Saturday, October 19, 2024

BREAKING NEWS:
Due to roadworks on our “traditional” route, we had to reroute this stage – still at the same location, of course. The new course will be approximately 4km long, so each age group will do a few more laps to achieve more or less the same total distance as previous years. Find the exact description and routes on our revised STAGES 2023 page.

Start times | number of laps for each group for stage 2, circuit race @ Chiang Mai Rajabhat University (Mae Rim Campus):

  • 07:30 AM – 50-59 & 60+ & Women Open & 35+ | 8 laps
  • 08:30 AM – Open A | 12 laps
  • 09:30 AM – 30-39 | 10 laps
  • 10:30 AM – 40-49 | 10 laps
  • 11:30 AM – Open B | 10 laps

If you are riding there from downtown Chiang Mai or back it is about 30 km or 1 hour each way. Find your Strava or Komoot routes here…

Those who booked the “Race fee with Full Package” options will have vans waiting for them 01:45 hours prior to their start times at the Kantary Hills Hotel Chiang Mai.  Another van will bring them back post race right after the trophy ceremony.
