How it works
Elite Athletes

Earn points
Tour points are rewarded to all athletes finishing in the top 20 and can be earned on our main races. The points are converted into a head start in the finale chase start.
Final
In the finale, the best Elite athletes will go head to head and battle for the title. First athlete to cross the finish line will earn the title of Toughest Champion.
Hall of Fame
Have a look at our fierce champions! Our races have produced a lot of international OCR stars over the years and we’re looking forward to add future talents on this list!
Anette Jokstad
Champion, Tour 2024
Jokstad is a real Tour vetaran and has always been amongst the best, battling for top placements in every race. In this year’s dramatic chase start final, every earned point mattered. Her hard work, skill and experience earned her the well deserved title, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Congratulations!
Markus Holasek
Champion, Tour 2024
This Toughest Tour “rookie” has quickly earned the respect of his fellow athletes. With solid performances throughout the Tour, Holasek continued to convince at the chase start final and ended the season on top of the podium. Well done and welcome to the Toughest Hall of Fame!
