Description
Join us for an unforgettable cycling holiday and experience the 2026 Girona Cyclocross Race Week. This unique trip blends the excitement of regional level Spanish cyclocross racing with the magic of Girona – a city recognised as the European capital of cycling and throughout the world as one of THE places for cyclists to visit.
Timed to coincide with October half-term, the Girona Cyclocross Race Week begins when we meet you at Girona Airport and transfer you to your Hotel which right in the heart of the city, on the edge of the the Old Town.
From your doorstep, you’ll be surrounded by a thriving cycling community, with cafés, restaurants and bike shops frequented daily by some of the biggest names in the sport. Many World Tour professionals, past and present, call Girona home, drawn here by its year-round sunshine, varied terrain, and strong cycling culture.
Throughout the Girona Cyclocross Race Week we’ll take you to the best cycling cafes, guide you on spectacular rides through rolling countryside, hidden valleys and iconic climbs like Els Àngels and the legendary Rocacorba – routes that form the backbone of professional training programmes. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself sharing the road (or even a café stop) with Tour de France contenders, Classics winners, or reigning world champions.
On race day, we’ll take you by bus to the race venue, where you will get the opportunity to test yourself against national level Spanish riders in your age group. The course features a circle of doom, sandpits, bridges and a tunnel and has a sandy base – the complete opposite of those in the UK, so expect a fast and technical race.
Juniors and adults will race on the Saturday evening in a Halloween themed floodlit race with bonfires, smoke and flames whilst riders aged 16 and under will race on Sunday morning.
A £250 deposit secures your place, with the balance due six weeks before the trip. Payment can be made in full via secure card payment or monthly direct debit.
