History

Founders Eduard Novák and Róbert Ráduly organized the first edition in 2006 as a regional competition. By 2008, the Tour of Szeklerland became the first cycling race in Romania to hold a UCI 2.2 category. Later that same year, the Tour of Romania also entered this category. [1]

In 2022, for the first time in its history, the competition began outside Romania, with the starting line set in Debrecen, Hungary. [2]

As of 2024, no Romanian or Hungarian rider has won the race.
