History
of TransEvents
In 1998 was the first TransAlp Challenge
in Europe, where competed two hundred and twenty teams of
two riders from eight different countries crossing the European
Alps in eight days. The arduous 580-kilometers long route
with over 20,000 meters of climbing became the most challenging
mountain bike event worldwide.
After a time, was the first annual TransRockies
Challenge, that was held in North America in August 2002,
thanks to the brilliant idea of Heinrich Albrecht and Chester
Fabricius. Both developed this incredible race, where riders
can tests themselves, their limits, their determination
facing 7 days of competition and over 600 kilometers, with
over 12,000 meters of ascent, it remains one of the most
awaited race every year.
And now comes to Chile the most incredible
epic race in the world, the Trans Andes Challenge
Juan Pablo Santiago, an experienced mountain bike racer
in World Cups for over 10 years, started this great event,
which has been consolidated year by year and is already
one of the world’s most important epic mountain bike
races.
This 2012 will hold its 4th version in Chilean Patagonia,
in the foothills of the beautiful and stunning Andes Mountains,
from January 23th till January 28th, 2012, with 6 stages

6 volcanoes and more than 10 lakes.You can ride trails that
have never been used by bicycles and are almost untouched
in our wonderful Chilean Patagonia
The stages will have 60 to 100 kilometers
each one, where riders can run as well as experts and amateurs,
where the race rhythm not need to be at the 1st level.
