La Santa Vall

This is a two-stage race. 120km on the first day, 85km on the second, for desert. The 120 km loop wanders through Les Gavarres and back via cork-oak forest; the 85 km trims the longest climbs but keeps the character.

February rarely runs dry in northern Catalonia, so expect mud and slick corners on the lower fire roads - tyre choice matters, pacing more. Your friends and loved ones might struggle to recognize you on the finish line.

Start and finish in San Gregori, about 7 km west of Girona. As with every Klassmark event, the small things are handled: timing, signage, animation through the day, and a generous buffet at the finish line worth lingering for.

Treat it as the warm-up to Catalonia's gravel season.
