The start is scheduled at 10.00, on the esplanade of the Polyvalent Hall in Craiova, and the finish will be in Bucovăț. Competitors have at their disposal the two traditional routes - the short 25 km lap and the 55 km long lap. At the same time, the concept becomes even more unique because, for the first time, the organizers offer the possibility for electric bike owners to compete in the e-bike section, which will take place on the long route.

Online registrations are open until Tuesday, May 31, at 12.00 or until all available spots are sold out.

Designed to develop the competitive spirit, but also friendship and fun outdoors, through movement and sports, "Pedal in Bănie" takes place in Craiova since 2018 and is already a tradition. Through this event, the organizers want to promote the city of Craiova and the beauty of the surrounding areas.
