Your attempt must be recorded on Strava.
- Approved Platforms:
– Zwift
– MyWhoosh
– Rouvy
– FulGaz
– Biketerra
– TrainingPeaks Virtual
- Anything that has a vertical gain can be used to complete a vEveresting.
- Rides must only focus on one hill or mountain per ride (e.g. you can’t base yourself in one location and ride multiple hills).
- Rides cannot be loops. The descent must be via the same road.
- Rides must be full ascents of your chosen climb each time. You can’t commit to a combination of full and half laps.
- Once you hit your climbing target you can abandon that repeat.
- You can start and finish the ride anywhere on the hill (bottom, middle, or top).
- No need to stay on the trainer on descents. Feel free to use this time to top up food, take a change of clothes, or have a stretch.
- Trainer difficulty settings are flexible.
- ERG mode and training mode are not permitted.
- Virtual shifting such as Zwift Hub or smart bikes are acceptable. Other forms of electronic manipulation such as a third-party virtual assistant are not permitted.
Everesting ROAM removes the requirement to repeat a single hill.
You may complete the challenge across multiple climbs and routes, accumulating elevation continuously until the required ROAM elevation target is reached.
ROAM can be completed as:
- Half Everesting ROAM – 4,424 m+ (14,515 ft+)
- Full Everesting ROAM – 8,848m+ (29,209ft+)
- Everesting 10k ROAM – 10,000 m+ (32,809 ft+)
All other Everesting rules still apply, including completing the challenge in a single activity and recording the attempt on Strava.
- The challenge must be completed in one attempt with no sleep.
- Breaks for meals are acceptable.
- You can break for as long as you need, keep in mind this counts towards the total elapsed time.
- Your final time for the challenge is taken as the total elapsed time of the attempt, not the total moving time.
