F.A.Q

 

The 8H event takes place on legendary motor racing circuits in France(Charade) and in Belgium(Spa).

A free and VIP parking will be available on site

Yes. To ensure the safety and quality of the experience, the number of participants is limited. We therefore advise you to register as early as possible.

Le retrait des dossards s'effectue à l'accueil de l'événement aux créneaux suivants :

  • La veille de l'épreuve : de 17h00 à 21h00 (fortement conseillé pour éviter l'attente le matin).

  • Le jour J (matin) : de 08h00 à 10h00.

  • Le jour J (après-midi) : de 12h00 à 16h00 (spécifiquement pour les formats 4h et 2h Endurance).

Conseil : Prévoyez de vous présenter au plus tard 30 minutes avant le départ de votre course pour retirer votre pack en toute sérénité.

To ensure that the finish is a shared celebration, all participants will cross the finish line simultaneously at 18:00. The start times are therefore staggered as follows:

  • Endurance 8h: Start at 10:00

  • Endurance 4h: Start at 14:00

  • Sprint 2h: Departure at 16:00

A precise timing system is put in place:

  • Electronic chip:

    • In solo: the chip is fixed to the bike

    • In a team: the chip is placed in a relay container

  • Live display: rankings visible on screens in the race village

  • Rankings by categories (Solo, Duo, Team)

  • Last round taken into account: only rounds completed before the end of the 8 hours count

  • Final results published online after the race and sent by email

The tracking and rankings will also be available through the official app.

Each category has its own ranking with magnificent trophies at stake.

Other special awards will also be presented, including:

  • Fastest Lap (Best Lap) – Male & Female

  • Title of Local Legend

    ... and other surprises!

NEW: This year there are two new concepts 💥

  • Challenge - 4 hours
  • Sprint - 2 hours

Here, participants registered for the Sprint (2 hours) are ranked separately, just like the participants in the Challenge (4 hours).

  • The relay zones are clearly marked and secured

  • Race officials monitor the proper conduct of the changes

  • The canister containing the chip must be transmitted in the red zone

  • The two bicycles must be completely stationary during the relay

  • Each bike must be equipped with at least one bottle holder, ideally two

In case of non-compliance with the rules, time penalties may be applied.

Yes, a "mechanic" stand will be present at the race village, ready to solve all your racing-related issues. In case of a problem on the circuit:

  • You must return by your own means or contact a member of your team

  • No direct intervention by the organisation on the track is planned

Yes, a complete refreshment (drinks and food) will be available on the circuit to recharge your batteries during the effort

For your convenience, drinking water taps are available in each paddock. You will be able to easily refill your bottles between stints or before your start. 
While we make every effort to provide high-quality support, we strongly recommend that you plan for a minimum level of food self-sufficiency, especially for solo participants. 

Safety is a top priority:

  • Professional medical team on site

  • Central emergency station + mobile teams

  • Mandatory briefing before departure

  • Secure change zones

  • Emergency response vehicle on permanent standby

  • Lighting recommendations if conditions require

Fair play and vigilance are essential throughout the event.

        What bikes are allowed?

  • To ensure the safety of all participants (differences in speed and manoeuvrability), only the following types of bicycles are permitted:

    • Traditional road bikes (rim or disc brakes).

    • Gravel Bikes.

  • Note: Your bicycle must be in perfect working order. The organisation reserves the right to refuse any equipment deemed unsafe.

    What equipment is strictly prohibited on the track?

    For safety reasons and to ensure fairness in the event, the following are prohibited:

    • Electric assistance bicycles (EAB) or motorised.

    • Time trial and triathlon bikes.

    • Extenders 

    • Special bikes: Fixies, recumbent bikes, tandems, cargo bikes, ...

    • All audio systems: Headphones and earphones are prohibited to remain attentive to other cyclists.

  • Is the helmet mandatory?

    Yes, without exception. The wearing of a certified hard helmet (CE standard or equivalent) is mandatory throughout the duration of the event.

    Can I film my race (GoPro, etc.)?

    Yes, but only if the camera is securely mounted on the bike or via a certified harness. Handheld cameras or those mounted in an unstable manner are prohibited.

  • Families and friends are welcome (free entry)

  • Spectators have access only to the track, not to the paddocks

  • The paddocks are strictly reserved for participants

  • Toilets are available in each paddock

  • The paddocks are covered, protected from the elements, and also serve as changing rooms

  • A village with food trucks is planned

  • Each participant must come with their own bike

No, it is not mandatory. You can book your team (Duo or Team of 4) now to secure your spot and complete or modify the list of participants later.

How to add or modify participants later?

Once your team is booked, you will be able to provide us with the names and personal information of your teammates afterwards.

  • The procedure: For any name change or addition of personal information, you must contact us directly. Our team will update your registration file to ensure everything is ready on the day (insurance, chips, race numbers).

​The refund of the registration fee up to 80% is only possible if you opted for cancellation insurance at the time of your order. If you did not take this option, no refund can be made by the organisation.
No cancellations? Two options are available to you:
1. Official Resale: If the event is marked as "Sold Out" in your category, an official resale platform will be activated via Miles Republic. This is the most secure method.
   2. Private Resale: You may resell your ticket on your own. Once you have found a buyer, simply log into your Miles Republic account to update the participant information (last name, first name, club, etc.) to ensure the bib is correctly registered in the new runner's name.
