The year 2020 was a completely new situation for all of us, and admittedly we would have gladly missed some of the action. But maybe you know the saying: “Life is like riding a bike. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” And you undoubtedly did. Although we couldn’t meet on site this year,…
The cooperation with Zwift, which had only started last winter, was already cancelled by Zwift again. And with it also the weekly group workout. But since we enjoyed the exclusive online riding meetups (and apparently you did too), we are currently looking for another option, too, and are confident that we will be able to…
Do you also miss spring training camps in the sun? Guess what, we have something for you! From March 13 to 20, Philipps Bike Team (PBT) organizes a special training camp on Mallorca for our partner Roadbike magazine. Together with ex-pro rider Mario Kummer, PBT has put together an interesting program for that week which…
The long-term cooperation with bicycle tour operator Philipps Bike Team on Mallorca will enter a new era in 2021. Hanns-Martin Fraas, managing director of eventwerkstatt GmbH and head of organization of Rad am Ring, joins the management of the Majorcan company. He will support Sarah Tischhauser, who has been in charge of Philipps Bike Team…
The first candle on the Advent wreath is lit. That means Christmas is only a few weeks away. And we have a great idea for those who do not yet have a present of the “Wow, great surprise” category and don’t want to go for the “Great, socks, thank you” option again: Rad am Ring…
Corona has not only thwarted Rad am Ring itself, but also the projects within the Rad am Ring family. In 2020, for example, in addition to the RaR road bike team, also a mountain bike team consisting of Julian Menningen, Martin Sommer, Michael Ponten and Sonja Schneider should have started in the Rad am Ring…
Actually, the MTB-Marathon was supposed to get an upgrade already this year. But this way, mountain bikers who don’t want to cycle for a full 24 hours can look forward to some attractive changes in 2021. The discipline for studded-tire enthusiasts with its three course lengths (25, 50 and 75 km) will move closer to…
The 24h mountain bike race has been held at Rad am Ring since 2006. Now it’s time for an update, and we’ve put a lot of effort into the new track layout. There will be less tarmac roads in percentage, but most of all we will pep up the route with exciting off-road passages through…
With most of this year’s cycling events having disappeared from the calendar you apparently are longing for some good cycling action. Massively. Although we opened the registration for next year’s event relatively late in 2020, registration numbers are already at last year’s level. This makes us very happy and soothes our battered organizer souls. Let’s…
It does neither have to be “pure Formula 1 feeling” nor plain camping at Rad am Ring. Those who have to travel far to get to the Nürburgring and/or would like to have a solid roof over their heads, a comfy bed and a warm shower that they don’t have to share with others (unless…
If you do not only want to prove other Rad am Ring riders what you are capable of, but also those who stayed at home, sportograf will also next year provide you with great participant pictures. If you want to get your pictures without having to check after the race whether they are already online,…
Again in 2021 our partner ROADBIKE will grant free subscriptions to all participants of the 24h bike races. Regular participation fee includes 12 issues of ROADBIKE magazine at no additional cost! The 12-month subscription starts with issue 07/2021 on June 16, 2021. You can activate the subscription by ticking the corresponding box during the Rad…
On Wednesday, October 28 at 9 a.m. we will open online registration for all Rad am Ring disciplines. You can register via the booking module on our website or directly via our partner Abavent. In the past years, registration always started without any problems – we are curious for this year’s “opening” and look forward…
Dashing down the Fuchsröhre at full speed, cycling on the legendary tarmac into the sunrise or enjoying the night with your team and supporters under the glittering starry sky… doesn’t this sound tempting? Then you should put a big mark in your calendar on 28th October 2020 for 9 am. Because then we’re opening our…
We didn’t only adjust the modalities, but also the prices for 2021. We are not only affected by the problems of this year, but also have to expect cost increases and reduced revenues due to additional organizational or hygiene measures. We hope and thank you for your understanding. In any case, the payment will not…
We want you to look forward to Rad am Ring 2021 with as little risk as possible on your side. In order to guarantee you maximal flexibility and security with your booking in these dynamic times, we have adapted our booking and payment modalities for 2021 as follows: If you register now, your payment will…
We are still stunned and deeply shocked by the news of the tragic death of our good friend, partner and multiple Rad am Ring winner Roger Nachbur. We are infinitely sad and in thoughts of his family and relatives and the whole Philipps Bike Team. R.I.P. Roger – You were a great one: a great…
The past weekend was a rollercoaster of emotions. Because of the cancellation we were actually more in the mood to cry, but in the end you put a big grin on our faces. Because Rad am Ring fell victim to Corona in 2020, but we didn’t let it get us down and rocked the net…
Rad am Ring 2020! We don’t have to let Corona take that away completely. On July 25th and 26th the wheels will turn. Sure, the awesome Nürburgring is not available and we will not be able to enjoy the legendary race track together as a Rad am Ring family. But we will ride together. At…
The attempt to organize a fuselage event around the public races for Rad am Ring has failed. Our concept with several improvements was finally rejected or the organization was made impossible by demanding a PCR test from all participants. You can find the concept and the additional statements enclosed (actually only in German). Also the…
So far, all Radtreff dates (cycle meeting dates) at the Nürburgring have fallen victim to the virus. According to the current state of affairs, this will remain unchanged until at least the end of June. After this date there is some hope that some meetings can be held. You can find the latest news on…
Tours, trainings, tracks and trails around the Nürburgring are all listed on the website www.radarena.de. This is an offer by “Radarena am Nürburgring” (bike arena at Nürburgring), an initiative of the communities of Adenau and Vordereifel and the city of Mayen. The site was completely revised for the 2020 season and integrated into the Rad…
Anyone who wants to take a ride through the northern Black Forest region, through the Kraichgau region and through the Swabian-Franconian Forest should mark July 17 to 19, 2020 in their calendars. As part of “Philipps Bike Team summer tours” there will also be a weekend reserved for a ride with friends in the surroundings…
The date of Rad am Ring is still set for July 25 and we work on the amateur races and the mountain bike marathon as feverishly as never before. At the Sachsenring a bike race for licensed riders took place and we can now support our request to the health authorities with the hygiene concept…
About three weeks ago the decision to cancel the 24h races was made and after long considerations and discussions the participant information of April 30 was written in the hope that it will save us from insolvency. At first glance an insolvency may not sound so terrible for a GmbH (Ltd.), but if you take…
With regard to these disciplines the Corona situation has not changed since our last info. We’ll just have to wait and see if the positive development continues and regulations will be further loosened. Contactless outdoor sports are already at the top of the list. What is going to be exciting to know is the assessments…
You have a two-week long right of objection according to legal regulations. Therefore, we can only start with refunds on May 26. Fees that were debited by us (Abavent) will be refunded in one sweep out of the system. Amounts that were transferred to us or Abavent on account, will have to be processed manually.…
We are overwhelmed and happy. Many thanks to all who helped to secure the future of Rad am Ring. In the end, thanks to your waivers we are approximately where we had hoped to be. Not 80 percent of our participants waived their 30 percent refund as we hoped for, though, but many friends of…
As a partner of Rad am Ring 2020, Roadbike magazine, like the participants, is naturally saddened by the fact that it is not possible to see them live this year. As a small consolation, Roadbike is giving all participants 2 magazines of Roadbike as an ePaper without any further obligation, i.e. automatically ending. The cycling…
Dear participants and friends of Rad am Ring, there is still a lot of “activity” on our e-mail inboxes, so we would like to answer more questions with this Update 2. Your reactions: Thank you very much! We are happy about your pleasent e-mails/posts and the good wishes – thank you very much. Thank you…
Dear participants and friends of Rad am Ring, since our participant information from yesterday, the mailboxes are overflowing and we would like to thank you for all your reactions. They encourage us. Some questions are repeated in the mails, which we cannot all answer individually. Therefore we would like to summarize the most important answers…
The 24-hour races of Rad am Ring are cancelled – as well as the time trial and the touring rides. According to our current information, the amateur races and the mountain bike marathons (all distances) are not unlikely to take place on July 25. We know that more detailed information on outdoor sports and major…
It’s amazing how little can be said in 45 minutes. And it’s a pity that we still can only speculate what is going to happen. Yesterday’s press conference of our governing politicians was unfortunately not the least revealing in terms of perspectives and strategies for the coming months. Short-term planning is still the order of…
As long as we don’t know whether the events are definitely cancelled (see news “Unfortunately, only speculations”) or whether it makes sense to develop action patterns for a secure organization, a continuation of the daily business doesn’t make sense. We will reduce overtime and vacation days for the next two weeks and, if necessary, go…
At the moment we are zwifting like crazy. This may seem a little suspicious to the Zwift-free part of the population. But in this respect, we literally have a screw loose – and something in common with pro cyclist Christian Knees (multiple Tour de France- and Rad am Ring participant!). He likes riding on the…
The MTB Marathon will start in the course of the Grand Départ together with all other disciplines on Saturday at noon on the start- &finish stretch and off-road riders will finish right where the action happens, too. This will change the course and its length a bit. The medals will be handed over together with…
Imagine that you are not allowed to leave the house for six weeks, even though your usual daily routine includes at least 100 kilometers of cycling and you even like to spend 39 hours nonstop on the saddle from time to time. Extreme situations lead to extreme ideas: We’re talking about the sports director of…
We know that we don’t know anything. We are all waiting and hoping for a reasonably reliable scenario that the German government plans to present to us after Easter. But we are considering all realistic scenarios in order to spend the time until we got certainty as sensibly as possible. At the moment, however, we…
You probably know our weekly workout Wednesdays at 7:35 p.m.!? If not, here’s all the info. All Zwifters and those who want to become one are invited to join our Zwift group on Facebook. There you can follow all current developments. For example, together with Philipps Bike Team (PBT) we offer a special “Mallorca-Ride” on…
No sports events, no participants, no photos, no sales. So simple, but also so cruel is the reality for our photo partner “sportograf” at the moment. Therefore, “help to help themselves” could be the motto of their current offer. All 2019 photos (the flat rate) are now available at a 30 percent discount. Maybe you…
You are important, the health of all people is important. It is important that we still have fun together for many years at the Nürburgring. Our events, especially Rad am Ring, are still so far away that no one can foresee if and how the Corona crisis will affect them. Circuit Cycling is planned for…
Spain stands still and so does Mallorca. In contrast to Germany, there is even a curfew. The operations of Philipps Bike Team (PBT) are also at a standstill, as are all tourist businesses on the Balearic Islands. All participants of the Rad am Ring Camp will be kept up to date by PBT about the…
Rad am Ring loves studded tires. And in order to create a unique experience also for all mountain bikers who don’t want to ride for 24 hours at Rad am Ring, we have once again worked on the MTB-Marathon. The result: The discipline with its three distances (25, 50 and 75 km) moves even closer…
If you join the Rad am Ring week on Mallorca, you will get more than just cycling camp life in Santa Ponsa and action in Alcudia. It gets even better: every participant who starts at Rad am Ring (no matter which discipline) and rents a bike for a week at one of the rental stations…
With the Rad am Ring poster hanging on the wall at home, you will get a dose of anticipation every day when you look at it. The joy can be multiplied when you distribute the posters: in the bike club, in the clubhouse, in your favorite café … in short: wherever you think that people…
The ZRG-radamring-workouts start one day earlier than originally reported. They will start on Wednesday, 4 March at 19:30 (CET). The day and time of the week will be the same for the follow-up workouts on Wednesday, 19:30 (CET). “We were able to jump to a “practiced” weekly appointment at short notice. Last Wednesday, a workout…
We are proud to start the first German event workout with Zwift on March 4 with the ZRG-radamring-workout. We’ll start at 7:30p.m., you’ll get access via the Zwift event calendar or the Zwift Companion app. The workout will take about one hour and can be individually arranged. It doesn’t matter if you want to prepare…
On March 1st our friends from RC Herschbroich in Adenau will give the starting signal for the MTB series Bulls Cup 2020. 4 events with 13 individual races in 18 categories (individual event- and overall classification) for off-road enthusiasts are on the agenda until April 5. A bit of playing in the mud and maybe…
Rad am Ring takes place only once a year, but from now on will be present at the Nürburgring 365 days a year. Or at least very close by. Since the beginning of the new year we have expanded our cooperation with Radsport Breuer in Adenau. The renowned cycling company now functions as the Rad…
Looking at bicycles is nice, riding them is even better. That’s why we are offering a ride with the Team Rad am Ring at the Cycling World bicycle fair in Düsseldorf. It will take place on Saturday, March 21, at 2 p.m. We will meet at 1:30 at the RaR tent directly in front of…
Since last year, the Nürburgring has also become the home of Circuit Cycling. This also means for this year’s edition, which takes place on May 16: Formula 1 flair during the two amateur races over 60 or 100 km, family friendliness, because the two races are held on Saturday evening and top test conditions to…
Time to wake up from holiday sleepiness and move your fingers to the keyboard. Only until January 31 you will get an early bird discount on the booking fee of the 24h races at Rad am Ring. So, register quickly at a reduced price. Those who register now (and their team) also have more time…
One weekend is not enough for something as great, emotional and unifying as Rad am Ring. That’s why we’re expanding our offer. Rad am Ring is to be experienced all year round. In addition to our team being present at various events and the RaR training camp on Mallorca, this year there will be a…
Christmas – the time of (helmet) caps, studded tires and the best argument in the world to get away from the Christmas tree for a few hours and cycle a little: “I have to get rid of the biscuits’ calories.” We are looking forward to Christmas and the turn of the year. Among other things,…
The cooperation between Phillips Bike Team (PBT) and Rad am Ring will enter the next round. On the one hand, there will be the RaR training week on Mallorca again that took place in 2019 for the first time. On the other hand, there will also be a Meet&Greet in Alcudia and at the rental…
Spending the night at the racetrack is part of the fascination of Rad am Ring and the 24-hour races. For many it is probably not quite as tingling to squeeze tents, sleeping bags, sleeping mats, pillows and whatever else you need to sleep into the trunk, besides the bike, equipment and food. SMI offers a…
Because Santa will be pretty busy from December on, he has already stopped by and left a top deal for fans of Rad am Ring and studded tires. Everyone who registers for the MTB-Marathon between November 22 and December 24, 2019 will get another slot for his/her chosen distance for free. You will receive a voucher with…
Rad am Ring wants to be a cycling festival for all bikers and bike categories. The number of participants in touring rides and tourist-oriented e-biking on Saturday of this year shows that you share this idea. We registered 478 e-bikers and almost 400 non-motorized touring cyclists. For 2020 we have set ourselves the target of…
Any plans for May 16? No? You have now. On this day 2020 Circuit Cycling will take place at the Nürburgring. You can register from November 29, 9 a.m. for the distances of 60 and 100 kilometers at www.circuit-cycling.de. One more thing: Although the official schedule for the German Cycling Cup series for amateur riders has…
Phillips Bike Team (PBT) and Rad am Ring – that’ a fit. The cooperation in 2019 worked out great: The RaR week with PBT on Mallorca was a success and at Rad am Ring in July several PBT guides and about 70 PBT camp guests participated in the races. We discovered many similarities – and…
The Nürburgring cannot be cycled on often enough. If you feel the same way, Circuit Cycling gives you the opportunity to cycle the Nürburgring a second time besides Rad am Ring next year in a competitive way. Since this year the races over two distances take place on the Eifel racecourse, too. The date for…
We have a new partner – and they have not only a high bike affinity, but also convince with special offers tailored to us. There is a unique special offer for 24-hour road cyclists: 12 times of ROADBIKE magazine are included in the regular participation fee, there are no additional costs for you! The 12…
Showing your fellow cyclists on the Ring what you are capable of is good. Being able to show it to those who were not on site is even better. Therefore, sportograf will take great participant pictures again next year. If you want to get your pictures without having to check actively if they are already…
The Eifel region is really beautiful, but in spring sometimes a bit too cool for long training rides. Therefore, we again offer the possibility to prepare on the sunny island of Mallorca for the cycling festival on Nürburgring – together with our partner Philipps Bike Team. The RaR training camp will take place from March…
A big thank you, you’re great! It was only in mid-October that we opened the online registration – and the numbers are already on the level of the record year 2018/2019. We are very happy about your loyalty, your interest and that Rad am Ring is apparently becoming a highlight for more and more cyclists.…
Did we hear “off-season”? Maybe the weather is not so bike friendly anymore, but that doesn’t mean that you should ban the most beautiful sport in the world completely from your daily life. On the contrary: cool, rainy autumn days are particularly well suited for setting your goals for the next cycling season. One day…
All those who want to put the icing on the Formula 1 feeling at Nürburgring will doubtlessly have to rent a pit for themselves, their team and their supporters for the 24-hour race. For individual riders we have reserved a total of 18 slots in pit 4 in the pit area. There each participant has…
It doesn’t have to be “Formula 1 to the max” or plain camping at Rad am Ring. Those who have a longer journey and/or value a fixed roof over their head, a soft bed and a warm shower that they don’t have to share with others (unless they want to) can book an “all-round carefree”…
You can extend the cycling season with Philipp’s Bike Team on Mallorca. Thanks to our partner on the Balearic Island your season may continue until the end of October. In spring the Rad am Ring camp will take place for the second time. Again, with team members on site, who will give you some advice…
More than 9,000 of you pedaled on the Nürburgring this year. That’s a record! And for that we would like to thank you very much. We are very happy that you seem to love Rad am Ring as much as we do. And we appreciate your commitment, your passion and also your willingness to suffer…
The sportographers were not only busy taking pictures on site, but also very quick to provide all participant photos online. Special treat: If you book the “Fotoflat”, you will get a video trailer for free. Click here for your photos
The Ring bikers have taste. At least that’s what we conclude from the great response to this year’s event jersey. There still is a small number of them available, though not all sizes are still in stock. So, if you missed the chance to get one on site because of all the finisher euphoria, we…
Rad am Ring has donated one euro per participant from the registration fees of the 24h-races 2019 to the charity cycling tour VOR-Tour der Hoffnung. A total of 5,298 euros were collected, which were handed over to the organization by cheque on Saturday on the Ring. Thanks to all of you!
As every year, we have assigned camping lots to the 24-hour individual riders and teams. In order to know where you have to go and in order to be allowed to take your car to the site and to your lot, you need an entry permit. The tickets were sent on July 16 to the…
Those who like quick decisions are lucky: As of now, there are still a few starting slots left in all disciplines. To make sure that late registration runs quickly and error-free, we ask you to fill out the registration form online at home (the registration is non-binding) and to bring the confirmation, which we will…
For 24h teams to appear in the age group classification, all riders must appear in the starting list, i.e. they must register themselves online or be registered by the team captain. If you fail to do so or if a rider changes at short notice, please inform the staff at the help desk on site…
Time, as you know, is relative. And you can also take your time riding your bike on the Ring. Even if the Nürburgring is a Formula 1 circuit: You don’t have to race there. More and more cycling fans seem to know this and to take advantage of it: We are pleased that touring ride…
This year there is neither a program nor a factsheet. But we won’t let the participants wander about the Nürburgring without any information at all. On request, there is a map in A2 format available in the participant center on the back of which you will find all the information you need and which we…
A bicycle in itself is a rather analogous thing. Fortunately, this does not apply to cycling events. Rad am Ring will of course be back on their social media channels on Instagram and Facebook in 2019 and will keep you up to date with photos, short news and videos. A bit of Rad am Ring…
Supporters and accompanying persons can keep a close eye on “their” athletes around the clock thanks to live tracking. This works via the app of our timekeeping partner Abavent and a registration code that you’ll get on site. You can find out exactly how to make your athletes visible here.
Our entertainment-, on-stage- and supporting program is just as enduring as the 24-hour cyclists. On the culinary front there is the pasta party on Friday, on Saturday live music is on the program, it’s weekend after all. If you want to be active yourself but don’t want to race, you can go on the different…
Music and information non-stop – sounds like a normal radio program, but in this case it is something very special: Radio RPR 1 supports us again at Rad am Ring. Radio host Dirk Köster will support our team around Holger Kremers from the RPR 1 sound studio. Furthermore RPR 1 continuously broadcasts on frequency 87.7…
Over and out. The online registration for the disciplines at Rad am Ring was closed on July 8. But that doesn’t mean that last-minute riders can’t still take the Nürburgring under their tires. A late registration on site is still possible in all disciplines. In order to speed up the on-site procedures, please register here.…
On Monday, July 8, our online portal will close for the Rad am Ring registrations. As of today, we can accept late registrations in all disciplines on site. With two simple measures you make it easier for us and you to follow on. From July 9th you can register in the database (just use the…
Those who conquer the Nürburgring by bike can be proud of themselves – and display their achievements openly: by means of the Rad am Ring jersey. This year we asked you again to vote on its design. You can buy the chosen favorite at the participant center in pits 19-22. The jerseys are available for…
Food keeps body and leg muscles together. To make sure that your energy stores are always well filled, no matter whether you are cycling in the 24h races, go for a relaxed touring lap, take part in the amateur races or in the MTB marathon: In the Food Corner there are plenty of cycling suitable…
Cycling on the Ring is also fun if you come there without competition ambitions. There are various test tracks and tour options on which accompanying persons, touring cyclists and all those who feel like a lap in the wonderful Eifel landscape in a relaxed manner can pedal as they please. The routes for individual riding…
You can never have enough bicycles.

After this date, potential participants can only register on site in the participant center. If you have already registered for the 24-hour races, please check the shipping address for…
Last year he could not be at the Ring because he raced in Canada and Colombia. This year Rad-am-Ring regular guest and MTB professional (among others multiple German Champion, winner Cape Epic) Karl Platt returns to the Nürburgring. And he will do so with a double start: in addition to his start in a team…

Your wish is our command. Last year you asked for rental bikes at the event, this year we have some. At Rad am Ring we are expanding our new e-mountain bike rental fleet of Focus hardtail and full suspension bikes, which so far has consisted of ten bikes. You can try out e-biking for a…
Fancy a new bike or a new type of bike or you simply did not bring a bike to the Ring, but spontaneously feel the irresistible urge to do a lap on or in the surroundings of the Nürburgring? No problem! Many bicycle manufacturers who exhibit at our Expo have test bikes with them which…
Rad am Ring does not only want to represent 360 degrees of cycling. We would also like to offer something to those who accompany participants or just don’t actively ride themselves all the time. This year we have once again come up with a great supporting program. Besides music with Tuesday’s Gone on Saturday evening,…
Thanks to sponsor Lotto Rheinland-Pfalz, the racing series of the Bund Deutscher Radfahrer (BDR) will once again stop at the Nürburgring.

The month of joy can hardly be better welcomed than with a lap on the Nürburgring. At least we think so. That’s why we are on site at the next Radtreff (bike meeting) on the Nürburgring on May 7. Radsport Breuer will also be there again, so that you won’t have to worry about small…
On May 11 Circuit Cycling will take place at the Nürburgring for the first time.

The BULLS MTB Cup is a series of four mountain bike races in the Eastern Eifel region, divided into 13 individual races and 18 subdivided classes.
