Mountain Race
5th edition with new tracks
Three days of pure Extreme Enduro racing action - the concept works very
well: 3 races 3 styles 3 days
Beach Race
+Race day #1 of Red Bull Sea to Sky will start with the Beach Race on Friday,
September 26. The spectators will enjoy speed, skills and courage right at
the beach of Kemer. A mass start will take the riders into a fenced round
circuit similar to a motocross track with sandy soil, a top speed straight
section going along the waterfront and some natural as well as manmade
obstacles. The mode is "20 minutes plus one lap" and the results
of the Beach Race will determine the starting order for the Forest Race.
Forest Race
On race day #2 (Sept. 27) the riders will be taken on a time trial in the
woods behind Kemer to ride some really cool single trails and gravel roads
reaching into the foothills of the Taurus Mountains. The Forest Race track
is about 75km long, thus a bit longer compared with the 2013 track but also
a bit more fluent. The top riders are expected to get to the finish in
little more that one hour. Again, the results of the Forest Race will
determine the starting order for the Olympos Mountain Race.
Olympos Mountain Race
Race day #3 and the main event of Red Bull Sea to Sky will start right at
the beach and it will take the riders all the way from "Sea to
Sky" on Sept. 28, 2014. An endless riverbed follows the beach and will
take the riders into the forest. The Olympos Mountain Race will be longer
and harder than last years edition - especially for the riders who are going
for the Gold Medal - which will be dedicated to the riders who made it to
the Red Bull finish arch on the peak of the Olympos Mountain at an altitude
of 2,365m. The Silver Medal will be handed to riders who are making it up to
the tree line at about 1,700m. Those who make it through the riverbed into
the forest and up to about 1,100m. So there will be a reward for the
majority of the starters who come prepared and with the skills required.
Record Breaking Prize Money
There are many reasons why - according to the riders - Red Bull Sea to Sky
became the most enjoyable race within the Extreme Enduro calendar. This year
there's another reason for a big smile in the faces of the riders with
ambitions for a top 10 result. Red Bull Turkey, the Kemer Enduro Club and
