The September fixture should ensure the ideal climate for the competition, away from the peaks of summer heat and the early autumn cold.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mid-September is also perfect for seizing the views of the Apennines and enjoying the real MTB on its unique ridges: &#8220;After this year&#8217;s success, despite all the hurdles, &#8211; explains Beppe Salerno, co-organizer of the race together with Milena Bettocchi, &#8211; we decided to confirm our calendar slot in September, two weeks earlier than this year. We expect to find slightly warmer temperatures and an even more eager welcoming since our venues&#8217; summer season will still be open. Also, the international calendar offers us an interesting opportunity, as we aim to bring a group of top riders on the Apennines next year too&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>HOW TO REGISTER<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><br>As in 2020, the organizing committee chose to allow only individual participation without the pairs format, following an increasing trend worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>It will be possible to register for 2021 Appenninica from November 15th, when the &#8220;Early Bird&#8221; phase will open: until January 31st, a maximum of 55 athletes can register for a reduced price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>With Appenninica&#8217;s trails riding through regional and national parks, in order not to overcrowd the course and ensure the utter level of enjoyment, the organizers opted to set a maximum number of 150 registered athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Source: Quattro Media<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the excellent outcome of this year, the event will remain in September.
