6 Timer i Rold

6 Timer i Rold is a six-hour lap race in Rold Skov, the forest around Skørping in northern Jutland, and 2027 brings its tenth edition. Riders go solo or in teams of two or three and try to complete as many laps as possible before the clock stops, with classes for mountain bikes, e-MTBs and gravel bikes.

The mountain bike lap borrows parts of the forest's 24-hour route and its blue trail, packed with flowing singletrack, gravel roads, hard climbs and fun descents, while gravel riders get a longer loop of their own starting from the same area. The course is closed to practice before race day and clearly marked throughout.

Atmosphere matters as much as the racing: teams can pitch a pavilion in the race area, the lawn in front of Bagtanker turns into a camp, and there are trophies for the top three in every class plus prize draws among all riders, with youth and veteran trio classes alongside the open ones.
