Every spring, an old open-pit iron mine at Eisenerz in Austria transforms into the arena of global hard enduro: the Red Bull Erzbergrodeo. Its nickname says it all — the Iron Giant. It's one of the toughest and most famous off-road races on the planet.
What Makes It a Legend
- The Red Bull Hare Scramble: The finale where hundreds of riders launch together to assault the Iron Giant. Very few make it to the finish line within the time limit.
- Nearly 1,800 competitors: Pro and amateur riders from dozens of countries attempt the challenge.
- A unique setting: The mine's grandstand, red dust, and vertiginous slopes create an unforgettable spectacle.
- Merciless selection: Simply finishing the Erzbergrodeo is already an achievement in itself.
Who Should Compete or Watch
For fans of hard enduro and extreme riding, and for those curious to see what a bike and rider can endure. The drama is in the heroic failures as much as in victory.
