Hundreds of cyclists from different nationalities and cultures participated in this tour, setting off from the Czech capital, Prague, and making their way to the German city of Düsseldorf, home of the Global Biking Initiative, on a sporting and humanitarian trek that combined physical challenge with charitable engagement.

During the 2026 edition, participants traversed several cities as well as tourist and historical areas in the Czech Republic and Germany.
