FAQ

The Twenty Peaks challenge is organized in editions on a state level. Every edition lasts exactly 6 months and contains a large number of climbs - both road and off-road. Participants have to complete 20 climbs to meet the challenge. In addition, each year the organizers choose 20 climbs that make up the individual classification of Twenty Peaks and are marked accordingly. You may choose to do some or all of these climbs to compete for your place in the classification.

Other, shorter, challenges which are organized from time to time can include just one or several climbs and be paid or free to participate.

Experienced cyclists but not necessarily competitive. It is for climbers and those who want to improve their climbing abilities. It is a great experience that will get you cycling on new routes and will provide a great sense of satisfaction if you manage to complete it.

Registration is typically open two months before the start date until two months into the season. Check the "6 months challenge” section on the website to learn more about the various editions and dates. Naturally, the later you register to an edition that is already rolling, the less time you will have to complete it. We recommend you register in advance.

Enter the challenges section and choose your edition. Press Register and you will be walked through the registration process, including choosing the jersey color and size (6-month challenge only).

First, make sure you have followed the route accurately. If so, send us a cue using the dedicated form under Sync activity and we’ll look into it and approve your climb. Otherwise you may have to repeat that climb. If we decide to manually approve a climb it may or may not show in the rankings table. It depends on the circumstance and is strictly at our discretion.

As many times as you like, the best result will count. We do recommend completing at least 20 climbs before taking the time to improve your results.
