GranGuache Audax


Date: Sun 24 Nov, 2024 - Fri 29 Nov, 2024

Venue: Canary Islands

The GranGuanche Audax Trail is a self-supported, single-stage, fixed-route, endurance cycling event across the Canary Islands. It’s not a race, it’s a collective adventure and a personal challenge to finish the route. There’s no cut-off time, there are no prizes, no medals, no brevet cards or finisher diplomas. The Audax is focused on the experience rather than the final results and has an 5 or 8 day duration/pace option.

It’s a demanding route for experienced riders as it includes serious climbs, high mountains, and remote areas. Experienced means well-trained, technically skilled, and wisely equipped. Exhaustion, sleep deprivation, and night rides add even more risk to a challenging ride. Participants are fully responsible for their safety and logistics.

The Audax follows the GranGuache TRAIL route from Lanzarote to La Palma with a few differences resulting in a slightly longer route.

The route mainly goes on double tracks but includes a few rocky single tracks, sandy sections, and about 3 hours hike-a-bike. It’s open to any kind of bike, we recommend mountain bikes with low gearing and min 2.2” wide tires (for low gearing we mean a 30t chainring on a 50t casette).
