59.00 Ar PVN

The eighth Velorealitāte will pedal through the highlands of Latgale and Selonia. The start and finish will be in Līvāni, with 2 checkpoints in Latgale and 2 checkpoints in Selonia. This year’s route will include significantly more elevation gain, as much of the gravel roads will traverse the hills of Latgale and Selonia.

Every year, cyclists are invited to join this long-distance endurance ride, where participants are tasked with completing a self-planned route within less than two days. This year, the route takes place in Latgale and Selonia, requiring visits to 4 checkpoints located in various places. As always, it is up to each participant to decide whether to enjoy the speed or embrace the role of a tourist at home, making the most of the Velorealitāte weekend.

Velorealitāte is an adventure cycling event that annually attracts over two hundred cyclists aiming to complete at least 300 km within two days, following their self-planned routes along Latvia’s smaller roads and visiting four predetermined checkpoints. It is not a race for speed; it is a test of endurance and a journey of discovery for the riders.
