Official event pageWhat this race demands
Kangas Mountain demands sustained climbing and technical descent capacity over a demanding 60 km early-season mountain course with 4000 meters of elevation gain.
Climbing volume
Accumulating 4000 meters of vertical gain over a 60 km distance requires exceptional muscular endurance and sustained uphill efficiency.
Technical terrain
Navigating mountain terrain in Asturias during the early season demands high agility and confidence on uneven surfaces.
Durability
The high ratio of elevation to distance creates a prolonged exertion period that tests structural resilience against heavy eccentric loading.
