The Traka is quickly becoming one of the most iconic and challenging gravel cycling events in Europe. Held in the heart of Catalonia, Spain, and based in the world-renowned cycling hub of Girona, The Traka offers riders an unforgettable journey through some of the region’s most spectacular and diverse landscapes.
From the rugged coastlines of the Costa Brava to the remote beauty of the Pyrenees, participants are immersed in a route that showcases everything gravel riders dream of — technical descents, steep climbs, wild terrain, and the kind of natural beauty that stays with you long after the ride is over.
At the heart of the event is the legendary 500 km route, with over 32 hours to complete, designed to push solo riders or teams of two to their physical and mental limits. While the best riders finish in as little as 13 hours, the course is equally suited to endurance-focused adventurers determined to reach the finish line. Multiple distance options are available, giving riders the freedom to choose their own challenge.
The Traka is part of the Earth Gravel Series and brings together riders from all over the world. During this gravel week in Girona, the city transforms into a celebration of cycling — uniting elite athletes, weekend warriors, top brands, and fans of the sport in a shared passion for gravel.
Beyond the race, Girona delivers the full cycling lifestyle. Recover in the historic old town, enjoy local cuisine, soak in Catalan culture, and connect with one of the most vibrant cycling communities on the planet. The Traka is more than a race — it’s a gravel pilgrimage, and Girona is its home.
Ride The Traka. Live Girona. Discover the spirit of gravel.
