← All eventsRanxo Gravel
Big Catalan gravel event through the Pyrenean foothills around La Seu d'Urgell, with multiple distances. Flagship ~140km with ~2,500m of sustained gravel climbing. Date and figures approximate/estimated (est. spring 2027).
A big Catalan gravel day in the Pyrenean foothills around La Seu d'Urgell. The flagship strings ~140km together with roughly 2,500m of sustained climbing on forest and mountain tracks.
The climbing is the point. Long gravel ascents into the foothills, mixed surfaces from smooth track to rough and greasy, then a rolling run-in back to the valley.
Expect five to nine hours on the full route. Shorter distances exist, so newer gravel riders can pick a sensible day. It runs in spring, and mountain weather up high can turn cool and changeable.
Who finishes, and how
Patterns like these, drawn straight from 2024 race data, are baked into how Beina coaches you for this event.
Is Ranxo Gravel for you?
- Riders with a strong aerobic engine who love a long day out. Around 2,500m of gravel climbing rewards deep endurance over short, sharp punch.
- Steady climbers who pace to a repeatable tempo. The sustained ascents punish anyone who chases the wheel in front and blows up early.
- Confident gravel riders comfortable on mixed surfaces. Smooth line choice on rough and greasy sections saves real energy over hours.
- Riders newer to long gravel who take a shorter distance. The shorter options make the Catalan Pyrenees a realistic first big gravel day.
