The GranGuanche Audax Gravel is a breathtaking ultra-endurance cycling challenge crossing five Canary Islands: Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, and El Hierro. Riders follow a mix of gravel, dirt, and tarmac roads, navigating rugged volcanic landscapes and remote coastal paths.
With a ferry-hopping format, the challenge is not just about speed but also strategic timing—catching the right ferry is key. The event operates as a self-supported audax, where riders can ride together but must be fully self-sufficient.
This is not a race, but a test of endurance, planning, and adaptation to the ever-changing terrain of the Canary Islands. A must-do for adventure-seeking ultra cyclists!
