Course Description

Race 1 – Prologue – 4.5 Km approx.
The bike ride consists of one loop starting and finishing outside Club La Santa. Upon leaving the start area, you will head towards
Caleta de Caballo, continuing upwards to Soo and then back down to the finish line.

Race 2 – Criterium
The Criterium is a great test of speed and bike handling. This race takes place on a 30 minutes circuit, plus two more loops; each of these extra loops is an approximately 2 Km long stretch of road outside Club La Santa.

Race 3 – Hill Climb – Tabayesco – 9.5 Km
The course, in the beautiful North of the island, starts with a consistent slope that gradually steepens (550 m vertical climbing, 6% slope). It is considered one of the most challenging climbs on the island.

Race 4 – Long Ride – 60 Km approx.
We expect a good number of participants with various levels of biking experience to take part in the last ride. Not only is this ride a great opportunity to test your cycling skills, it is also the opportunity to enjoy the stunning views along the road while meeting other biking enthusiasts in a relaxed environment.
