Already on Saturday from 11 a.m. on the Straße des 17. Juni there will be racing events for children over different distances within the already closed areas.
On Sunday, the races over various distances will start at 8 a.m. The start and finish is the Straße des 17. Juni.
Approval after the last cyclists
The closure of the entire race track begins at around 7 a.m. and ends shortly before the first starting signal. The release will take place gradually – as soon as the last cyclists have passed the route – and will probably end around 2 p.m.
The race track begins on the Straße des 17. Juni in front of the Großer Stern and runs through Charlottenburg, Zehlendorf, Steglitz, Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain and Mitte, among other places.
The dismantling of the start and finish area will begin after the end of the event and is expected to be completed on Tuesday, July 4th. completed at 6 p.m.
Due to the closure of the cycle routes, numerous bus and tram lines will also be diverted, withdrawn or divided.
Under velocity.berlin you will receive a map containing the course of the route and other elements.
