THREE ROUTES
- 50 km with 450 m of accumulated elevation gain
- 90 km with 800 m of accumulated elevation gain

The route passes through: Fuentealbilla, Abengibre, Bormate, Ribera de Cubas, Jorquera, La Recueja, Alcalá del Júcar, Tolosa, the Molinar reservoir, Villa de Ves, Casas de Ves and Alborea.
It's a race without a competitive spirit. The goal is different: to discover the territory and share the miles. Great atmosphere, good food, and good trails.
Each participant will receive a personalized jersey, a welcome bag, a race number with their name on it, and a finisher's medal. Upon crossing the finish line, gazpacho, a cold drink, and music for those who want to extend their day.
Everything is carefully thought out. And it shows.
