Greenhouse Urban Mountainbike Race - Powered by Bergamont

After a one year break, the Greenhouse Event returns for its third edition. On Friday 9th and Saturday 10th January 2015, Ostermundigen near Berne will evolve into a pumptrack and bike sports Mecca. The creator of the Greenhouse event, Adrian Kiener, himself an active racer, is setting his sights high and is looking forward to impressing the spectators and athletes by something unusual. "We are going to ride in a greenhouse, which my grandfather built 80 years ago"

The third edition of the event boasts a race track and an event area double the size in comparison to the year before. The race course leads over flower beds, a compost heap and through greenhouses, which will be temporarily linked by tent structures. The track, the heart of our event is freshly built every year especially for this race.


The cream of the crop kicks off
Stars of the mountain bike scene have been invited by Kiener. The roster features athletes from all mountain bike disciplines. For the first time in 2015, amateur racers can apply to register for the first time. About 30 athletes will battle for the 16 spots available for the finals. You can find further information about registration on the website: www.greenhouserace.com

Ladies in the start gate
Also for the first time, we have created a category for the ladies. The female quota in all mountain bike disciplines is bursting, so it’s about time we satisfy their desire to race.

Become active yourself
The Greenhouse event offers the spectators exciting entertainment and also the possibility to become part of the action. "Gold Sprint", "Short Race" and "Track Stand" are the contests for the masses. Not sure what these are? No worries - they all involve a bike, so you're good. On Saturday evening, the legendary Greenhouse party will take place in the old workroom of the market garden.
