Summernight
From Koblenz out into the summer night, towards the Moselle to the turnaround point near Trittenheim and back into the morning – the Moselle Summer Night is a 300-kilometer ride whose impact does not come from high mountain passes, but from rhythm, darkness, and the special closeness to the Moselle. After the start in Koblenz, the route leads into the Moselle Valley, past its towns, bridges, vineyards, steep slopes, and the characteristic bends where the river sets the direction. Cochem, Zell, Traben-Trarbach, Bernkastel-Kues, and the Middle Moselle do not become tourist stops along the way, but quiet points of orientation in a night where everyone has to find their own rhythm. What begins in the evening as warm, bright, and light becomes more focused with every hour: the view narrows, the light on the bike becomes more important, the road grows quieter, the river darker.
At the turnaround point near Trittenheim, half the distance is done, but the real story is not over yet. On the way back, the same Moselle becomes a different route: the night is quieter, the legs are heavier, the towns pass by more silently, and the initial feeling of departure turns into a test of endurance, self-sufficiency, and inner calm. The Moselle Summer Night lives exactly from this contrast – from a flowing, fast route along the water and the special weight that emerges when riding it through the darkness. Whoever reaches the finish in the morning has not only completed 300 kilometers. They have crossed a summer night on two wheels, held the rhythm of the Moselle, and experienced how light, silence, fatigue, and speed become a finish-line moment that reaches far beyond an ordinary long-distance ride.

Nutrition
Basically, all participants and teams are responsible for their own catering. All participants can submit a small, prepared catering package to the organizer before the start until 9:00 PM, which will be ready for them at the first or third time station. The package remains there and will not be transported to the finish. The handover of self-organized catering by own support teams is allowed if it takes place off the roadway while stationary.
Finish
At the finish line, arrival is registered and participants receive a personal greeting from the organizer along with a finisher photo. All starters who reach the finish within the time limits will receive a finisher medal. Awards for the top finishers will take place immediately after crossing the finish line, as soon as the placements within the categories are determined. All finisher times and course records will be published live on the website.
