Hero of the Arlberg
The ultimate challenge!
The Hero of the Arlberg is a combined ranking based on the results of the Arlberg Giro, St. Anton Night Sprint and King/Queen of the Mountain.
Three competitions – one challenge!
The Hero of the Arlberg combines the results from:
- the Arlberg Giro – the demanding cycle race with alpine passages and breathtaking landscapes, which challenges participants from all over the world every year,
- the St. Anton Night Sprint – the spectacular sprint through the illuminated pedestrian zone on Friday evening,
- the King/Queen of the Mountain classification – the battle for the best time on the steepest climb.
These three different disciplines require not only endurance and speed, but also tactics, determination and competitive spirit.
Points system & scoring
There is a standard points system for each of the three individual classifications:
The fastest woman and the fastest man receive 100 points each . All other participants receive points in descending order according to their ranking.
After all three competitions have been completed, the points are added up – and the athletes with the
highest total points are at the top of the rankings and are crowned Hero of the Arlberg.
