Mussara 24H

Mussara 24H Circuit de Barcelona is an endurance cycling event held on the tarmac of the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Montmeló. The most recent edition, the sixth, took place from Saturday 4 July 2026 to Sunday 5 July 2026, with riders completing as many laps as possible within the time set for each format.

Routes and distances

The event is run on the Formula 1 and MotoGP circuit, which measures 4.657 km per lap according to the organiser. In recent editions there have been three formats, each decided by the number of laps completed:

• 24 hours: teams of 2, 4, 6 or 8 riders.
• 12 hours: teams of 2 or 4 riders.
• 6 hours: teams of 2 riders, or individual entries.

Registration

The organiser has not yet announced the date of the next edition, so entry details, prices and places are not available. Check the official website for the announcement and the registration link.

Why ride it

Few events let you ride a grand prix circuit that is normally reserved for motorsport. The team formats make it as much a relay as a race, so riders of different levels can share the same entry, and the fixed lap length makes pacing and strategy easy to plan over the 6, 12 or 24 hours.

Where to stay

Montmeló sits in the Vallès, a short drive from both the foothills of the Montseny and the Maresme coast, and a team event over 6, 12 or 24 hours rewards anyone who arrives the day before and sleeps close. Our certified accommodation is mostly a half-hour hop away, which suits crews who want a proper bed, a bike wash and somewhere to recover once their stint on the circuit is done.
