RadCHALLENGE

The SGM BeTaBalance RadCHALLENGE is entering its next round! Put your endurance on the bike to the test and experience athletic challenges, fun, and community all at once.
This year, two new competition modes (rides) await you - whether you're ambitious or taking it easy, there's something for everyone.

Classic Ride

The classic challenge for anyone who wants to rack up miles together! 
In the classic RadCHALLENGE, students and employees compete in separate categories – fair, exciting, and full of team spirit. Whether on flat terrain or in the mountains: every kilometer ridden brings you one step closer to the winner's podium. Every bike ride counts – whether on a mountain bike or an e-bike!

Prizes & awards:
- Individual prizes: Awaiting the top 3 student and employee teams!
- Prize draw: Every team that spends more than 100 hours in the saddle together over the four weeks will also automatically be entered into the prize draw. So more time together on your bikes means more chances to win great prizes! Join in and show what you can achieve as a team!
- Most creative team name: This year, we are once again looking for the most creative team name among all teams participating in the RadCHALLENGE – creativity pays off!

Important: Virtual rides are not allowed in the Classic Ride.

Pro Ride

For everyone who wants to push each other as a team!
New: In Pro Ride, students and employees compete together against each other in teams in a sporting competition. As usual, the race is run in teams of five. Pro Ride is designed for those who cycle regularly and are looking for real challenges. Is riding more than 100 kilometers a week no problem for you? Do you enjoy competing with others? Then this ride is the right one for you! Pro Ride is about performance, endurance, and consistency. Every week, four varied challenges await you:

Week 1: Saddle Time Star – Who spends the most time in the saddle?
Week 2: Kilometer Champion – Which team collects the most kilometers during the week? 
Week 3: Elevation Hero – Who conquers the most elevation?
Week 4: Saddle Time Star Revenge – Who spends the most time in the saddle?

Scoring: Each week, both the best and the worst performance within each team are taken into account. All team performances are compared and ranked, then converted into a points system. This way, each team collects points week after week.

Prizes & awards: 
At the end of the challenge, the points collected will be combined into an overall ranking. The higher your position in the ranking, the greater your chances of being included in the prize draw. First place will not be included in the draw and will win a direct prize.
Most creative team name: This year, we are once again looking for the most creative team name among all teams participating in the RadCHALLENGE – creativity pays off!

Important: E-bikes and virtual rides are not permitted in the Pro Ride.
