What ⁣is the Maap Equinox Event?

The Maap Equinox Event is a global cycling⁣ series designed to unite cyclists worldwide around⁢ the autumnal and vernal equinoxes – the two days each year when day and night are of equal length. This unique event challenges participants to collectively cycle the equivalent of the EarthS circumference (approximately 40,075 kilometers or 24,901 miles) within a seven-day period.

The event isn’t a race against individual competitors,but a collaborative effort. Cyclists log their kilometers ridden during the seven-day window, contributing to the collective goal. Maap, an ⁣Australian bike clothing⁢ manufacturer based in Melbourne, organizes the event as a way to connect with its community and showcase its products.
