The story

Tour de Ijen in Banyuwangi

Tour de Ijen, first run in 2012 as the International Tour de Banyuwangi Ijen, is a UCI 2.2-rated, four-stage road cycling race covering roughly 608 kilometers across Banyuwangi regency, part of the UCI Asia Tour and drawing internationally registered teams. Its climactic fourth stage finishes at Paltuding on the Ijen plateau after an Hors Categorie climb above 1,500 meters, the race's toughest mountain segment.

First run in 2012 as the International Tour de Banyuwangi Ijen, this multi-stage road cycling race carries a UCI 2.2 rating and forms part of the UCI Asia Tour, drawing internationally registered teams and riders rather than local-only participants, a wholly different format from Banyuwangi's cultural events like Kebo-Keboan or Gandrung Sewu.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

The place changes

The climactic Hors Categorie climb above 1,500 meters to Paltuding on the Ijen plateau, the race's toughest mountain stage, is Tour de Ijen's clearest distinguishing feature, a genuine professional cycling challenge rather than a leisure ride

The mystery stays covered

2 rating as part of the UCI Asia Tour means the race draws internationally registered teams and riders, a wholly different format and atmosphere from Banyuwangi's community-rooted cultural festivals like Kebo-Keboan or Gandrung Sewu

The city starts moving

Covering roughly 608 kilometers across four stages gives it a genuine multi-day professional race structure rather than a single-day fun ride
