What is SIXDAYS?<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text text_color=”color-xsdn” uncode_shortcode_id=”373401″ text_color_type=”uncode-palette”]Six-day racing is one of the oldest and wildest traditions in cycling. SIXDAYS takes this legendary format and cranks it up for today’s audiences.[\/vc_column_text][vc_button border_width=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”188263″]Learn more about how SIXDAYS started[\/vc_button][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”336050″]<\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text text_color=”color-xsdn” uncode_shortcode_id=”180425″ text_color_type=”uncode-palette”]World champions, Olympic medalists, and young\/rising track cycling stars meet on the track and race their hearts out over multiple evenings. But unlike road races where you compete once and call it a day, these riders compete in up to eight track cycling disciplines<\/span> per night \u2013 sprints, Madison races, elimination battles, and more \u2013 with only short breaks between events. It’s a test of speed, tactics, recovery, and sheer grit.[\/vc_column_text][vc_button border_width=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”184906″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fsixdayweekend.com%2Fen%2Fryders%2F|title:Ryders”]See who\u2019s participating at Berlin 2026[\/vc_button][vc_column_text text_color=”color-xsdn” uncode_shortcode_id=”202800″ text_color_type=”uncode-palette”]The action unfolds on steeply banked velodrome tracks where riders reach breathtaking speeds through tight curves. Points and lap wins accumulate across the weekend, building toward a thrilling finale where champions are crowned at midnight.<\/p>\n

But SIXDAYS Weekend is more than just racing. DJs spin between races, light shows illuminate the track, and thousands of fans create an electric environment unlike anything else in cycling. Think world-class athletics meets music festival \u2013 all happening under one roof, with the riders just meters away from the crowd. The DJs, music, lights, commentators, the crowd and the atmosphere is what makes SIXDAYS very different from track cycling championships or Olympic Games while the level of competition and athletes participating are largely the same.<\/p>\n
