Following the recent launch of new events in Oman and Mexico, the Haute Route Cycling Series continues its development beyond Europe and North America by expanding to China from 2019. 

In just 8 years, the Haute Route Cycling Series has become the world’s most prestigious series of multi-day cycling events for amateur riders and offers an exciting calendar in 2019 with 14 events; starting in Oman in March and finishing in China at the end of October.

Based in the Sichuan province, the new Haute Route Qingcheng will offer the possibility for both Chinese and international riders to experience an Haute Route over 3 days in a new and picturesque cycling destination. Participants will benefit from premium level services both on and off the bike, including mechanical support, medical services and road security, as well as daily briefings, massages and post-stage meals. 

Following the success of an invitational event in October, the inaugural edition of the Haute Route Qingcheng will be held from 25-27 October 2019. Located in Dujiangyan, the event will be based at the foot of the Qingcheng mountain, one of the most famous Taoist mountains in China. Open to Solo or Duo (team of two) riders alike, the event will feature two classic stages and an uphill time trial.
