IRC TIRE CUP 2025 – 2ND NATIONAL MOUNTAIN CYCLING RACE

Following the resounding success of its inaugural season, the IRC Tire Cup officially returns on September 21, 2025, at Núi Dinh, Ho Chi Minh City. This year’s race promises to deliver an explosive sporting playground where amateur riders from across the country gather, compete, and prove their strength on a truly challenging course.

The Racecourse – Núi Dinh, HCMC

Núi Dinh, renowned for its breathtaking landscape and rugged terrain, will once again serve as the “battlefield” for MTB riders. The route has been carefully designed to test both endurance and technical skills, offering every participant a complete and thrilling racing experience.

  • Start – Parade Square (2.9 km): Riders set off from Hồ Bên Suối, turn onto Đường Tránh, make a U-turn, and ride straight to Cô Kiều café at the mountain’s foot. This warm-up stretch helps athletes get into rhythm before the grueling climb.
  • Climb Section (4.7 km): A relentless uphill demanding stamina, grit, and mental resilience.
  • Technical Trail (6.8 km): The highlight of the course, featuring steep climbs, sharp turns, and technical downhill segments where skill and perseverance make the difference.

Schedule

The competition spans two days, with September 20 dedicated to procedures and preparation, and September 21 reserved for the official race.
