Flat-fast ~300km endurance sportive (plus a 100km option) through Germany's Mecklenburg Lake District from Neubrandenburg, ~1,590m over 300km. A group-riding, pacing and fuelling event — not a climbing test. Confirmed 2027-05-28/29.
Location
Neubrandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany
A 300km sportive with barely a climb in it: about 1,590m of ascent across the whole day. Per kilometre, one of the flattest big rides you can do. A single loop from Neubrandenburg through Germany's Mecklenburg Lake District.
The difficulty here is not gradient, it's distance and speed. Smooth country roads and around 5,000 riders mean your pace is set by the bunch you sit in, not by the terrain.
On a flat, fast course the group is the event. Hold a strong bunch and you finish hours faster and far fresher. Get dropped and it turns into a long solo grind against the wind.
Who this suits
- Diesel engines who hold steady power all day. There are no climbs to hide the effort, so durability over eight-plus hours is what counts.
- Riders who can sit in and take turns. On flat, fast roads a working bunch is worth hours, while solo is a real slog.
- First-time 300 riders who pace honestly. Strong support and no big climbs make it achievable, if you don't get swept along too fast early.
- Flatland powerhouses over featherweight climbers. Absolute watts, aero and drafting win here, not power-to-weight.
Training plan
A training plan for Mecklenburger Seen Runde isn't a generic base build. Beina reads the event's exact demands, looks at your specific profile and the time you actually have, and maps a highly adapted plan to the start line.
01 · Race demands
A flat, fast, all-day grind
- 300km at speed, roughly 8 to 17 hours in the saddle including stops
- No recovery gradients: steady power with nowhere to freewheel
- Open lake and field stretches where the crosswind bites
- Fuelling for the full day at 60 to 90g of carbs an hour
02 · Key sessions
What your weeks look like
- A progressive long ride building from 140km toward a 250km-plus peak
- Back-to-back weekends, 150km Saturday and 100km Sunday, for cumulative fatigue
- Long tempo blocks, 2 to 3 x 30min, to lift all-day sustainable power
- Paceline and fast-group rides to sharpen drafting and turn discipline
03 · Shaped around you
Not a generic schedule
- Built from your current fitness and the time you actually have
- Adapts every week as Beina learns how you respond
