18 July 2026

The Jeroboam 600 is built for those seeking the most demanding and solitary side of endurance gravel. Roughly 600 km and 17,000 m of elevation gain, starting from the Santini Village (Bergamo) and finishing at the Reverb Hub Bergamo. The event is limited to 50 participants, with a maximum time limit of 80 hours.

The route is fully self‑supported and crosses alpine and pre‑alpine landscapes, skirting areas such as Adamello and Tremalzo before returning toward Bergamo with passages along Lake Iseo. Riders will encounter varied terrain, including some technical sections—never dangerous—where bike handling and energy management become key. The 600 does not require MTB skills, but rewards the ability to maintain a sustainable pace over time across gravel, forest roads, cemented climbs, and secondary connections.

Live tracking will monitor all participants in real time, ensuring safety and allowing crews, friends, and media to follow the progression.

Self‑Support

The 600 follows a self‑supported logic: riders must manage food, rest, equipment, and any issues, choosing autonomously when and where to stop.

Recommended Setup

  • Tires: minimum 700×45 mm
  • Gearing: 38/40 front + 10/52 rear or equivalent
  • Lighting & power: sufficient for long‑duration riding
  • Load capacity: food, tools, night kit

In short: an authentic endurance challenge—physical and mental—that demands preparation, management, and autonomy. A straight line across mountains, valleys, and lakes before returning to Bergamo.

Participants are required to present themselves at the start of their respective route and use the following equipment appropriately:

– Lights with sufficient charge to last at least 6 hours (for the 300km route);
– Helmet; – GPS device with a battery sufficient to cover the chosen route’s duration;
– Suitable clothing (including a waterproof jacket);
– 1.5 liters (or more) of liquids;
– First aid kit;
– Kit for repairing breakdowns, punctures, and spare parts (brake pads, oil, multitool, pump, tire levers, inner tubes, CO2 cartridges, chain quick links);
– Mobile phone.

The 37.5 km ride is an eco-friendly ride (maximum controlled speed of 25 km/h, stops every 25 km), so it will be the responsibility of individual cyclists to undergo the necessary medical checks for sports fitness and take out personal insurance against damage to themselves and others. As a precaution, a non-competitive medical certificate will still be required; the recreational motor certificate is not accepted because, above 20 km in length, the regulator does not recognize it as a valid certificate.
