All-In again
Stage 2 – Rhythm and Precision
Pick up speed across flowing dirt tracks, sharp climbs, and strategic descents. This is the shortest day, but don’t let that fool you — smart pacing and technical skills will make the difference.
Overview
Stage 2 – Short but Strategic
The second stage is one of the shortest of the event, but it’s by no means easy. It’s fast and technical, packed with hard-packed dirt trails and flowing singletrack that let you pick up the pace downhill while staying alert. You'll hit open roads for steady speed, and paved descents near the end offer a chance to breathe and enjoy the view. Watch out for natural “rollers” in the terrain — if used wisely, they can boost your distance and momentum. But caution: the final climbs can catch you off guard. Important: 5 km before the finish line, there’s a controlled crossing. Follow staff instructions carefully.
