The Traka

On April 29 and 30, 2023, Girona is the territory of Gravel with the celebration of The Traka. A complete non-competitive cycling experience in which you can participate in the modalities of 50, 100, 200 and 360 km respectively.

For the 200 km and 360 km modalities, over two days, the participants must be guided by the GPS route provided by the organizers.

If you are a Gravel enthusiast, this Gravel Earth Series circuit event is for you.

Why participate in The Traka?

The Traka smells of camaraderie, nature and the essence of cycling. It is one of those events where the most important thing is not to struggle for the best time, but to reach the finish line enjoying the participation. And so that everyone can take part in this event, it has up to 4 different distances. You can stop as often as you need to re-energize, but don't rest on your laurels either. Because we love Gravel, we believe The Traka is a great opportunity to share a unique experience in Girona.

When is the next edition of The Traka?

The 2023 edition of The Traka Gravel event is cheduled on April 29 and 30.
