Don't miss your chance to join the Tour of Shanghai for free.
Hey, cycling fans! This is your chance to join the 2024 Tour of Shanghai's epic public cycling event. The registration fee for this unique city-wide ride is just 218 yuan (about US$30.67), but guess what? We're giving away 5 FREE entry spots, courtesy of City News Service!
The 2024 Tour of Shanghai is an international event that draws 20 professional teams from China, France, the UAE, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and beyond. They'll be speeding through nearly 300 kilometers of stunning scenery across Shanghai's five new cities: Jiading, Qingpu, Songjiang, Fengxian, and Nanhui. And here's the kicker – it's the first time these areas are teaming up to host a major sporting event.
But it's not all about the pros – on September 22, the final day of the race, you can jump in on the action around the gorgeous Dishui Lake! Open to cyclists aged 18 to 55, the event features three categories: Men's Elite, Women's Elite, and the Challenge Group (where everyone's welcome!). If you're in the Elite groups, bring your drop-bar road bikes. In the Challenge Group? You've got more bike options – just leave the e-bikes, fixed-gear, and shared bikes at home.
Think you've got what it takes? You'll need to keep up the pace with minimum average speeds of 35 km/h for the Men's Elite, 30 km/h for the Women's Elite, and 25 km/h for the Challenge Group. The route's about 38 kilometers long, and with only 1,500 spots up for grabs, it's time to get moving!
Registration opens at noon today (September 2) on the Jiushi Sports app. But before you do that, click the link below to try your luck at snagging one of our 5 FREE spots. May the fastest fingers win!
