BORDEAUX - PARIS 610KM


The legendary cycling race Bordeaux-Paris rises from its ashes as an ultra-distance cyclist challenge open to all, 35 years after its last professional edition. Created in 1891, Bordeaux - Paris was one of the oldest and longest one-day cycling events in the world. The race's unique character, with a distance of 600 km and a spectacular finish behind a derny, established its reputation as the ultimate cycling challenge suited only to the strongest and bravest riders in the peloton.

Nicknamed "the derby of the road" and later "marathon de la route", Bordeaux-Paris will be remembered as a monolithic monument from days long gone: an epic cornerstone in the World Heritage of cycling. However, Bordeaux-Paris is back 123 years after its creation and three decades after its demise with a modern touch.
