- The hill climb experience
One kilometre.
Full gas.
A dedicated 1 km sprint segment inside the Nandi Epic. The race around it carries on as normal — but over this one short, intense stretch, the clock is looking for the fastest rider through, and there are rewards for whoever takes it.
- Where
- After the Nandi T section — the stretch between Nandi base and the Nandi T junction, marked by the Red Bull arch.
- Who
- Every category in the 102 km and 50 km races — you are in it by riding through, with nothing extra to enter.
- Reward
- Special rewards for the winners, awarded per category.
Red Bull KM runs within the 102 km and 50 km races only — it is not part of the Nandi 7.3 hill climb. Red Bull is BBCh's Energy Partner.

Race rules
- Entries close Wednesday 18 November at 11:59 PM. There is no spot registration on race day.
- Entries are non-refundable and non-transferable.
- Elite is open to any man who wants to race, but it is where the professionals ride — enter it only with real racing experience. Anyone who has represented a state or UT must race Elite.
- Men Master (40+) and Women Master (40+) each need at least 10 riders on the day. Below that, Master merges into Elite, and Women Master into Women, sharing one podium.
- Once you race Elite, Men Master or Women Master, you stay in that category for the rest of the season.
- Non-Road Bike is for hybrids, MTBs and foldies. Fixies and single-speeds are not allowed and should enter another category.
- Bib numbers must be displayed on the handlebars, uncut and unaltered.
These sit alongside the full BBCh rules and regulations.
