Elena Hartmann’s Campaign

Help me build THE DIESEL PROJECT – Switzerland’s first professional female gravel racing program.

Your contribution funds race entries across Europe, USA, and South Africa, plus travel, equipment, and training. As a late-bloomer athlete (started at 32) balancing racing with police work, every bit of support helps me prove that unconventional paths can lead to success.

The 2026 season: races across Europe, USA, and a 7-day documentary project in South Africa’s Karoo. Racing gravel solo means no team support – just me, my bike, and your belief that athletic careers can start at 30+ and thrive.

Support THE DIESEL PROJECT and help prove it’s never too late to chase your dreams.

Bio: Swiss professional cyclist | 3x National Time Trial Champion | 9 UCI wins | Olympic Athlete | 2x Tour de France finisher I started racing professionally at 32 – most athletes were retiring. Now at 35, I’m pioneering Switzerland’s first professional female gravel racing program while working part-time as a police officer. The 2026 season: races across Europe, USA, and a 7-day documentary project in South Africa’s Karoo. Racing gravel solo means no team support – just me, my bike, and your belief that athletic careers can start at 30+ and thrive.
