REGISTRATION OPENS FOR THE 35TH NEUSIEDLER SEE RADMARATHON POWERED BY BURGENLAND TOURISM & 3RD PANNONIA GRAVEL ON OCTOBER 25
The Neusiedler See Radmarathon powered by Burgenland Tourismus in Mörbisch—where the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships will be held for the first time in Austrian cycling history in 2029—opens registration for its 35th edition on April 25, 2027. But first, in October, the third Pannonia Gravel takes place in what’s forecast to be perfect autumn weather, with a route through the military training area near Breitenbrunn, which is usually off-limits.
The 35th Neusiedler See Radmarathon powered by Burgenland Tourismus takes place on April 25, 2027. Registration opens this weekend for the season-opening classic and six other events. Alongside the 125-kilometre Gran Fondo, featuring 600 metres of climbing, the event also includes the 60-kilometre NRM Mini to Illmitz, returning by ferry to Mörbisch, races for hand cyclists, dedicated youth categories and the NRM Business Ride. E-bike riders are also welcome to join the ride to Illmitz, as with the Mini Marathon. The traditional individual and pair time trials, as well as the Kids Race for the youngest riders, take place in Mörbisch the day before, on April 24.
Take advantage of the Early Bird rate – dedicated women’s start group returns
“From now until 11:59 p.m. on September 30, 2026, we’re offering a special discount: Use the voucher code ‘earlybird-NRM27’ to get 10% off the entry fee for both the Gran Fondo and the time trials with our great ‘Early Bird’ rate,” says race director Hannes Hessenberger, who introduced a dedicated women’s start group last year. “It has proved a great success, and we hope to increase the proportion of women again in 2027. The women’s start group, just behind the first men’s group, is primarily for safety, as the start can be particularly hectic.”
3rd Pannonia Gravel on October 25, 2026 – the adventure around the tanks awaits!
The 3rd Pannonia Gravel takes place around Breitenbrunn on Lake Neusiedl on October 25—and perfect autumn weather is forecast! After 500 riders took part last year, the organisers are aiming for a record turnout this year. Two route options are available: 73 km/1,150 m elevation gain (Tour A) and 40 km/600 m elevation gain (Tour B). The start is at 10:00 a.m. on October 25 on the Cherry Blossom Cycle Path (junction with Kasiersteinbrucher Landstraße, 7092 Winden am See). Tour A sets off first, Tour B follows 10 minutes later, and five minutes after that it’s the turn of the e-gravel riders on the 40-kilometre route. The route is unique, as it passes through the military training area, which is normally off-limits. “We’ve been granted special permission to ride off the usual cycle paths through a fantastic, ‘untouched’ landscape for the day. It’ll be an unforgettable experience for all participants. And there’s plenty of excitement in store, as more than 80% of the route crosses off-road terrain and unpaved roads, as well as a singletrack,” adds Hessenberger. New this year: Participants can test the latest bikes from Ridley, a brand of Belgian Cycling Factory NV, based in Paal-Beringen. The company is sponsoring Pannonia Gravel for the first time. Before and after the race, everyone is welcome to try the latest bikes for free at the Ridley stand outside Kirschblütenhalle, where race numbers will also be handed out and the awards ceremony held.
Meet & Greet with Ivan Basso
On Wednesday, September 30, 2026, from 3:00 p.m., the launch of the 2029 UCI Gran Fondo World Championships in Burgenland will take place at the rooftop bar of Hotel Galántha (Esterhazyplatz 3, 7000 Eisenstadt). Special guest is two-time Giro winner Ivan Basso, who will share fascinating insights into the world of professional cycling and personal stories from an extraordinary career alongside race director Hannes Hessenberger, State Councillor Heinrich Dorner and Kurt Kaiser of Burgenland Tourismus. Places are still available: The first 20 people to register—on a first-come, first-served basis—by emailing office@neusiedlersee-radmarathon.com are very welcome! A delicious buffet will follow. Please find the invitation attached.
And finally, we hope you’ll visit our new Neusiedler See Radmarathon powered by Burgenland Tourismus website. We’d love to hear your feedback!
