Course description

Race 1 – Prologue – 4.5 K aprox.
The route consists of one loop, which starts and finishes in Club La Santa. Upon leaving the Stadium, you will turn right, and at the roundabout head left towards Caleta de Caballo, on to Soo and then back to Club La Santa.

Race 2 – Criterium
30-45 minutes circuit plus two more loops; each loop is approximately 2km, along a stretch of road outside Club La Santa.

Race 3 – Hill Climb – Tabayesco – 9.5 K
The course, in the beautiful North of the island, starts with a consistent slope that gradually steepens (550m vertical climbing, 6% slope). We advise you to ride to the bottom of the climb by bike, which is about 40km, as a warm up. However, there will also be transportation available should you prefer it.
On the return journey to Club La Santa, you will enjoy stunning views as a reward for your effort in the climb (there will also be the option of using the provided transport for the return
journey).

Race 4 – Long Ride – 80-100 K aprox.
The ride will start with a 3km climb up to Soo from Club La Santa, continuing over mostly flat ground to Famara and past the “El Campesino” Monument. You will then ride through the undulating lava fields of La Geria, Uga and Yaiza, around El Golfo and along the 5km stretch of road climbing up through the outstanding landscape of the Fire Mountains in Timanfaya National Park. Finally, you will enjoy stunning sea views on the road running mainly downhill from Tinajo to Club La Santa; but don’t think it’s over yet, you may have strong headwinds to face on the final leg of your journey!
