Danmarks Højeste Motionscykelløb 2027

Join us on May 6, 2027, for Danmarks Højeste Motionscykelløb, Skanderborg's renowned spring cycling festival. This year marks the 44th edition of this beloved race, offering five distinct routes that wind through the picturesque hills and lakes of East Jutland.
Kongeruten (192.6 km) challenges cyclists with over 2000 meters in elevation gain, while Specialistruten (149.4 km) features a slightly less daunting but still formidable climb totaling nearly 1500 meters. The Cykelshoppen - Gran Fondo (113.6 km) and Motionistruten (70.9 km) provide more moderate options with scenic views, while the family-friendly Cykelshoppen - Familieruten (27.6 km) is perfect for riders of all ages.
Participants will start at Skanderborg Fælled 1 in a staggered format throughout the morning and enjoy stunning landscapes along each route. After crossing the finish line, everyone can relax with complimentary food and refreshments provided by organizers.
