More Than a Race.
A Journey.
The Liberty Endurance Ride is designed for gravel riders, MTB cyclists, explorers, and photographers who want more than just kilometers. This is where sport meets lifestyle.
Gravel & Adventure
Long gravel stretches, forest roads, riverbanks, and open field sections through Europe's last great river wilderness.
The European Amazon
Ride through Bačka Podunavlje Special Nature Reserve and near Kopački Rit — untouched floodplains of extraordinary beauty.
Borders & Freedom
Cross Liberland, Serbia, and Croatia in one ride. This is not just kilometers — it is a journey through geography and freedom.
Community & Culture
Cyclists, travelers, and free spirits sharing one river, one route, and one experience around the fire at ARK Village.
The Wild Danube Awaits
The route takes you through the untouched floodplains of Bačka Podunavlje Special Nature Reserve and near Kopački Rit — often called the "European Amazon."
Riders will face long gravel stretches, forest roads, riverbanks, fishing villages, and open field sections. Heat, dust, sustained effort — and the reward of landscapes few cyclists ever reach.

Everything You
Need to Know
A gravel bike is ideal for both circuits. Hardtail MTB bikes are also perfectly suited. Road bikes are not recommended — the route includes gravel tracks, forest roads, and riverbank sections that require wider tyres and more robust geometry.
Exact distances will be confirmed closer to the event. The Big Circuit is a full endurance challenge covering the complete cross-border loop. The Small Circuit is a shorter, nature-focused route suited to fit riders newer to long-distance gravel. Contact us for the latest details.
Accommodation is available separately at Liberland ARK Village. You can choose between tent camping or bungalows on the riverbank. Meals, fire evenings, and community activities are part of the base camp experience. Include your accommodation preference when you register.
The Liberty Endurance Ride is not a standard race. There are no podiums or rankings. It is a personal endurance challenge — you ride at your own pace and experience the route on your terms. That said, the Big Circuit is physically demanding and should be approached with serious preparation.
The Big Circuit requires solid endurance fitness and experience with multi-hour gravel riding. The Small Circuit is suitable for fit cyclists who are comfortable with 3–5 hours on mixed terrain. If you are unsure which circuit suits you, contact us and we'll help you decide.
Yes — group registrations are welcome and encouraged. Whether you're coming with a cycling club, a group of friends, or a team, get in touch via WhatsApp or email and we'll coordinate accommodation and logistics for your group.
Essentials include repair tools and spare tubes, sufficient water carrying capacity, sun protection, and navigation (the route will be provided via GPX). For base camp, bring camping gear if you're tenting, or book a bungalow. A full packing list will be sent after registration.
The base camp is located near Apatin, Serbia, along the Danube. It is accessible by road from Belgrade, Novi Sad, Osijek (Croatia), and Budapest. Detailed travel instructions will be included in your registration confirmation.
