Spectator area ARENA SOUTH
The spectator area ARENA SOUTH is located within 5 minutes walking distance from the Erzbergrodeo Arena and offers a spectacular view on the massively steep uphill sections riders got familiar with at the Mitas Rocket Ride. While the top riders fight for each position, a lot of competitors will need more than one attempt to clear this section.

Spectator area START
The spectator area START is located within 10 minutes walking distance from the Erzbergrodeo Arena and offers a spectacular view on the starting area and the very first uphill sections - which already seperate the men from the boys after a couple of minutes race time. Row after row will hit these uphills like waves of adrenaline to provide unseen drama and action! It is also the starting point of all Shuttlebusses taking on the SOUTH route. 



Spectator area BRECHER (Shuttlebus-Route SOUTH)
The spectator area BRECHER offers a view on the Red Bull Hare Scramble starting area and the steep uphills finally leading the riders out of the basin. This part of the track shows the top riders fight for each position. 


Spectator area BOHRERSCHMIEDE (Shuttlebus-Route SOUTH)

Spectator area WASSERLEITUNG (Shuttlebus-Route SOUTH)
