The League was created to test the athletes' abilities and level of adaptation as well as to generate a friendly atmosphere for the spectators. Races will vary from very long endurance distances to spectacular short loops for very fast and tactical sprint style events with additional elements of time trial, enduro and multi-stage factors (with rest time between stages).
Depending on the nature, structure and available infrastructure of each host city, we will determine the type of challenge for the athletes.
