Stöffel-Xtreme: Im Zeichen des Cross

The course is varied and athletically demanding. Ground conditions and subsoils alternate, the running routes are not flat, there are some metres in altitude to overcome. The Stöffel Xtreme runs are definitely not comfort runs, they are about running outdoors over roots, through dirt and on basalt.

Looking back to 2021

Last year, the cyclo-cross state championships of the cycling associations of Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland held their cross competitions in Stöffel Park here. They were the cycling highlights of the cross weekend. Cyclo-cross, or, as it used to be called, cross-country cycling, is completed on special cross bikes, which are more like racing bikes than mountain bikes.

Cyclo-cross

Cyclo-cross is currently awakening from a long slumber in Germany. What is a popular sport in the neighbouring countries to the west, Belgium, France and the Netherlands, is fortunately gaining more and more friends in this country: the cyclo-cross community is growing. In the Stöffel Park, all age groups will be competing for glory on a varied course, from schoolchildren to seniors. Cyclo-cross is basically a winter sport, so it is almost made for the wild and fresh Westerwald.

To the organiser

The United Teams e.V. association has been organising cycling competitions in the Stöffel Park for years. Well known, for example, is the "Stöffel Race 24-h-MTB-Challenge", which attracts mountain bikers from all over Germany to Stöffel Park every year in early summer. "The tough ones don't come to the garden either, but they do come to Stöffel Park!" says Hans-Christian Mager.
