About
Font-Romeu, at 1,760 metres above sea level in the Catalan Pyrenees, hosts this UCI Gravel World Series race and serves as the final qualifier before the Gravel World Championships. Distances of 58, 77 and 110 km accumulate 2,286 metres of elevation, with the Pic de la Calma at 2,006 metres as the highest point. Open gravel roads cross pine forests and high-altitude meadows with the crisp air typical of the Capcir plateau. Racing at sustained altitude raises the physiological cost of every watt; at Push Rider we embed hypoxic adaptation sessions in the aerobic base phase and the weekly coach review fine-tunes your normalised power targets at elevation so you peak at exactly the right moment of the season.
