This year's event saw 700 cyclists participating, with most completing the 17km route in less than an hour. The start and finish of the race were at the stadium on Strilkova Street. The route took cyclists over the Kanavinsky Bridge, along the Lower Volga Embankment, the Rowing Canal Embankment, and back, providing a scenic tour of the city's most picturesque spots.
Given the success of this year's event, the organizers aim to make it an annual affair. According to Ivan Rumyantsev, Director of the "Velonizhniy - 2025" festival, the event demonstrates the vitality of cycling in Nizhny Novgorod. The festival united cycling enthusiasts, creating a memorable day for all involved.

The event was not just a race, but a celebration of cycling in Nizhny Novgorod. Cyclists who completed the event were rewarded with commemorative medals and gifts from the organizers.
