Middle East Peace Tour 2019: change of date

Thank you for your continued support of our new cycling adventure - the Middle East Peace Tour (MEPT). We have been applying our 30 years of experience organizing international, UCI sanctioned, cycling events for the past 4 years, and we have dreamt about making the MEPT a reality for far longer! For an undertaking of this importance, we want to ensure that everything is properly addressed and prepared down to the smallest details. Our goal is to make the MEPT the most memorable cycling event possible.

As a result, we have decided to reschedule the MEPT for March 2019. Of course, there are many challenges to organizing an event that travels through a very complex part of the world. We also have been working with many new governmental (and non-governmental) organizations and cycling associations. We want to take the time to get it right for everyone involved. We will be forwarding further details shortly. Once again thank you for your understanding and incredibly valuable participation.

The registration will be adjusted for the new date of the event 2019:

Euro 1.180,00 until the 15th of May 2018
Euro 1.350,00 until the 15th of August 2018
Euro 1 550,00 until the 15th of November 2018

The Middle East Peace Tour is the first sporting event in the world for peace.

 

 

The date: 09-15 March, 2018. The location: Jordan - Israel - Palestinian Territories. A PROJECT OF PEACE !

After four years of dreaming, negotiating and preparing, the first Middle East Peace Tour (MEPT) will take place from March 9th to 15th, 2018. MEPT is the first cross-border sporting event for peace in the world. The cycling tour is sanctioned by the UCI (International Cycling Union) as a  ”Cycling for All" category. 

Cyclists from all around the world are permitted to participate – from amateur and hobby cyclists to professionals – all welcome to support the idea of peace in sport. The event starts on the March 9th in Amman with a circuit race in the City Centre and finishes in Jerusalem March 15th. The 7 stages are very versatile: some are challenging climbing stages, but there will also be days dominated by descents, and one mostly flat stage completes the route plan. The terrain is suitable for most riders and all stages pass through spectacular scenery and unique sites that are so characteristic of this region:

The 7 day - stage race will start in Jordan with stage finishes in the Jordanian capital, Amman: the historical city of Petra, and Aqaba on the Red Sea. After a stage in Aqaba, the race heads to Israel with finishing stages in the popular resort Eilat, the unique Mitzpe Ramon Crater. In the ultimate stage, the riders will travel through the West Bank from Neve Zohar on the Dead Sea to Jericho the finish of the first half-stage. The second half-stage of the day leaves Jericho and finishes in Jerusalem. 

The date for the race is also ideal for those cyclists who want to support peace and at the same time get fit for the summer season. If you are coming from the Southern Hemisphere, race one more big event before the days start getting cooler again! The event is organised by the MEPTOUR GmbH in Austria, a non-profit company funded by entry fees from participants, sponsors and donations.Any and all profits will be designated for philanthropic projects and equally divided up amongst the participating countries.

Registration opened in July, 15th and will close in December 15th, 2017. The maximum number of participants is 500 riders.

The different event categories are:
·  Single participation
·  Team with two riders
·  Company team with 5 riders
·  Electro – bike
