One-day cyclosportif from Playa de Muro, Mallorca. 167/225/312km; the 312 packs ~5,050m with almost all climbing front-loaded in the Serra de Tramuntana, then a long flat second loop demanding durability + group discipline. Capped ~8,000, sells out instantly, ~14h20 cutoff. Next edition 24 Apr 2027 (confirmed).
Location
Playa de Muro, Mallorca, Spain
One of Europe's iconic season-openers, run largely on closed roads out of Playa de Muro. Pick 167, 225 or 312km. On the 312 the climbing is almost all front-loaded, then you grind out 150km of flat.
The Tramuntana comes early: Coll de Femenia, then Puig Major, the 899m queen climb. After the mountains the road flattens out east toward Artà, exposed and often into a headwind.
It sells out in minutes for a late-April date, so the fit-in-winter clock starts the day you get a place. The 312 is broken on that flat loop, not in the mountains, and a ~14h20 cutoff gives real room if you keep eating.

Patterns like these, drawn straight from 2025 race data, are baked into how Beina coaches you for this event.
Who this suits
- Diesel riders who pace themselves. The 312 rewards a steady climber who saves the legs for the flats over a puncheur who empties on the mountains.
- Anyone comfortable in a bunch. The flat back half is ridden in pacelines, and sitting in rather than going solo can save the best part of an hour.
- Riders who will actually train through winter. It lands in late April, so the base has to be built in the cold months, not when the clocks change.
- Riders honest about their longest day. The 167 is a big sportive; the 312 is a full ultra that needs 8 hour-plus rides already in the legs.
Training plan
A training plan for Mallorca 312 isn't a generic base build. Beina reads the event's exact demands, looks at your specific profile and the time you actually have, and maps a highly adapted plan to the start line.
01 · Race demands
Two events in one day
- Almost all the climbing crammed into the first half, done before you reach halfway.
- A long exposed flat loop after the mountains, where durability decides the day, not raw watts.
- 10 to 14 hours in the saddle, an early-season effort you must be fit for in April, not July.
- A bonk zone around 200 to 260km, when the road feels easy and under-fuelled riders come apart.
02 · Key sessions
What your weeks look like
- Sustained climbing: 2x20 sweet spot and 3x15 threshold to build Puig Major pace.
- Progressive long rides building 4 to 6 to 8 to 10 hours in Z2 for ultra durability.
- Front-load simulations: all your climbing done early, then 3 to 5 hours flat, mimicking the 312 shape.
- Paceline rides plus a full race-day fuelling rehearsal at 80 to 90g of carbs an hour.
