Competitions

- Since 1967, Deutsche Sporthilfe has provided financial and non-material support to around 4,000 top athletes, including training, career planning and social security.
- It is financed by eight national sponsors, tax revenue of around 11 million euros, donations and around 300 trustees, each of whom receives 7500 euros a year.
- Among others, 30 mountain bikers and 20 racing cyclists are supported; medal bonuses of 30,000, 20,000 and 10,000 euros come entirely from Sporthilfe.

Asked: What does Deutsche Sporthilfe actually do?

- The decisive factors for MTB marathons are suitable equipment, well thought-out self-sufficiency and balanced weight planning depending on the route and conditions.
- Sufficient food and liquids, a tyre repair kit, multi-tool with chain rivet, chain lock, weather protection, GPS, mobile phone and money are essential.
- Transport via hydration waistcoat, frame storage compartment, Velcro fastenings and jersey pockets; rucksack and saddlebags are considered disadvantageous due to handling and comfort.
