CAT700

The original Catalan bikepacking event, running since 2015. Self-sufficiency is the framing - not just "unsupported", but the rider plans every meal, every refill, every sleep. No checkpoints; just a GPS track, a tracker, and the obligation to keep your phone on. The format is invitational: race it if you want, but it was designed to be lived more than won.

Max 49 starters, small enough that everyone knows who's around them. Four-day window with no distinction between night and day riding - sleep when you want, ride when you want, just be back before the cutoff. Bring a bivvy or sleeping bag and a thermal blanket; the rest is on you.

The senior of the Catalan ultras. Less circus, more pilgrimage.
