About

GranGuanche Audax Gravel is the gravel-specific version of the great Canarian ultra, spanning 800 kilometres with 17,000 metres of elevation gain in fully self-supported format, departing from Orzola at Lanzarote's northernmost tip. The island's volcanic terrain — lava gravel tracks, coastal roads skirting the Atlantic and slopes beneath Timanfaya — creates an environment unlike any other in European ultra-cycling. Gravel bikes allow more agile handling than road setups, but covering 800 kilometres without external support demands all three pillars of the programme working in concert: the aerobic base that sustains effort across multiple days, race-specific nutrition — autonomous fuelling, hydration and supplementation rehearsed in training — and the sports psychology work that builds the mental resilience and pacing discipline needed to push through the low points of night riding without having to improvise. Designed for experienced ultra-cyclists with a proven track record in multi-day events drawn to a setting defined by raw geology and Atlantic solitude.
