The racing action will begin on Wednesday, October 7, with the Special Race. In the opening stage, riders will demonstrate their speed and technical skills ahead of the demanding challenges awaiting them throughout the rest of the competition.

On Thursday, October 8, the Beach Race will bring the competition to Kemer’s coastline. Featuring sand, water crossings, tight turns and technical sections, the beach stage will be one of the events where spectators can experience the race at close range.

The Forest Race will take place on Friday, October 9. Riders will face rocky sections, natural obstacles and changing terrain conditions in Kemer’s forested areas. The stage will challenge competitors in terms of both endurance and technical riding skills.

The final of the event will be held on Saturday, October 10, with the Mountain Race. The demanding climb, which starts at sea level, will finish at the summit of Tahtalı Mountain at an altitude of 2,365 meters. As the most iconic stage of Sea to Sky, the race will see riders push themselves to the limit on a challenging course stretching from the sea to the sky.
