The group of like-minded individuals, "Priekule Cycling Club," was founded in 2011 when local residents came together with the desire to spend their free time actively, both cycling and boating. It was during this time that the idea of organizing the "Priekule MTB Cycling Club" competition was born. Since then, several events organized by the "Priekule Cycling Club," registered in 2016, have become popular traditions: the MTB Marathon, the Evening Ride, and the Cyclocross.
