THE CAPITALS BY PEDALMA 2027

The Capitals Ultra Cycling Challenge, set to take place on July 4, 2027, offers an exhilarating journey through the diverse landscapes of Catalonia. Starting from Girona, participants will embark on an epic adventure covering a total distance of 850 kilometers across gravel roads, dirt tracks, and asphalt. The route connects four Catalan capitals—Girona, Barcelona, Tarragona, and Lleida—and culminates in the majestic Pyrenees with a checkpoint at Bagà.
This challenging event tests riders' endurance and self-reliance as it is conducted without support services, emphasizing the importance of preparation and resourcefulness. The terrain features over 14,000 meters of elevation gain, offering breathtaking views and demanding climbs that will push cyclists to their limits. Along the way, participants will encounter a mix of urban environments and rural areas, immersing them in the rich culture and natural beauty of Catalonia.
For those looking for an equally adventurous but more manageable distance, The Capitals Compact is available this year. This 450-kilometer route includes over 7,000 meters of elevation gain, providing a robust yet less daunting challenge that still captures the spirit of exploration and self-sufficiency inherent in the event.
The Capitals Ultra Cycling Challenge promises an unforgettable experience for cyclists seeking to test their limits while immersing themselves in one of Europe's most scenic regions.
