The athletes will start from Hoa Binh Square, the track has flat terrain to give athletes space to break away from the first minutes. Then comes the challenging uphill phase of physical strength, endurance and good flexibility to conquer the rough, winding road. Before reaching the finish line, the off-road terrain with narrow roads and lots of dirt and rocks will be the last chance for athletes with good mountain bike techniques to take the lead.
The IRCtire Cup course is divided into two distances for five groups of athletes. The junior men (30 years and under) and senior men (31-45 years) will compete for 30.83 km. The senior men (46 years and over), junior women (40 years and under) and senior women (41 years and over) will compete for 21.93 km.
