How it works

Earn points
Tour points are rewarded to all athletes finishing in the top 20 and can be earned on our main races. The points are converted into a head start in the finale chase start.
Final
In the finale, the best Elite athletes will go head to head and battle for the title. First athlete to cross the finish line will earn the title of Toughest Champion.
Hall of Fame
Have a look at our fierce champions! Our races have produced a lot of international OCR stars over the years and we’re looking forward to add future talents on this list!
Anette Jokstad
Champion, Tour 2025
Jokstad continues to impress as she claims her second consecutive title in the Toughest Tour! Although starting over 2 minutes after the Tour leader in the chase start finals, Anettes technique, grit and experience brought her to the well deserved top of the podium. Respect, well done and congratulations!
Jonas Drescher
Champion, Tour 2025
After a convincing season with two wins and one second placement, Drescher was definitely in our short list for winning the Tour finals. Jonas did not disappoint and showed the crowd what peak OCR performance looks like. What a season and what a finale! Welcome to the Toughest Hall of Fame!
