The Organiser is the local Mátra Biker Sport Club (MBSC) non‑profit organisation. As a friendly club, from fans and riders to cycling enthusiasts and professionals, MBSC is suitable for all levels and actively encourages all to get involved. This weekend lets you climb our iconic mountain and pass some of the most spectacular views along the way. This event is perfect for a weekend away with your family and a great way to explore the countryside and Hungary's highest peak at 3,327 feet (1014m).

The registration opens on 25 March 2025 at 5 pm and must be done online by Wednesday midnight before the race. There is no on-site registration. Participants who have registered and paid but are unable to attend the race can defer their registration to the 2026 event if the organizers are notified in writing at least one week before the event.

Tour de Mátra is broadcast live by Eurosport TV commentators and can be followed live on two LED walls at Kékestető (next to the main stage) and on Facebook too.

The internationally recognized CandyMen Duo, known for their mix of Rockabilly, Rock, Pop, Country, and Blues, will entertain the audience and will spice up the mood from 12 pm to 2 pm on both days of the event on the hill at Kékestető under the TV tower!

Entry is online only and will close at midnight on Wednesday before the race starts.

Free concerts during the weekend on the hill!
