SCOTT MEDITERRANEAN EPIC GRAN FONDO 2027

Set course for the magnificent seaside resort of Oropesa del Mar, nestled in the province of Castellón (the Valencian Community) 🇪🇸. The program invites you to take on an event that combines prestige and toughness: the SCOTT Mediterranean Epic Gran Fondo—get ready to face one of the most mountainous regions in Spain. The profile quickly launches you toward the steep foothills inland. Your body will have to manage punchy climbs and constantly kick the machine back into gear if you hope to shine on this course designed for pure cyclosport riders! ⏱️

The ribbon of tarmac catapults you into a spectacular setting that perfectly blends the endless blue of the sea with the ochre hues of the sierra. The immersion forces you to keep razor-sharp focus on the ascent of demanding passes (like the famous Puerto de Cabanes or Culla), where the heat and gradients demand all your energy. You'll get the thrilling feeling of slicing through a majestic peloton, carried by the momentum of a route worthy of a great spring classic 🏔️.

Adrenaline saturates the hot air from the mass start by the seaside, amid a pack bringing together thousands of passionate cyclists, from ex-pros to sharp amateurs who came for the challenge. The vibe breathes a major international event, with "premium" organization. Valencian fervor fires up every village crossing and every feed station, pushing you to throw your last strength into the fight. An atmosphere of pure Mediterranean euphoria welcomes you on the supersonic descent back to Oropesa del Mar, where the finish arch kicks off an huge party 🏅.

Save one last hint of energy to honor the local gastronomy. Carry your tired body to a sun-drenched terrace to devour an authentic paella or a generous portion of fried calamari, all washed down with an ice-cold cerveza while admiring the sea. Start your timer and come set Castellón's asphalt on fire! 💥
