About

La Clandestina Bikepacking is the only ultra-distance bikepacking event held entirely within the Region of Murcia, making it a unique reference point on the national calendar. The 394-kilometre route with 4,010 metres of elevation gain crosses the full geographic range of the region: irrigated inland valleys, pine-covered ridges, the arid landscapes of the sierra de Carrascoy, the Campo de Cartagena coastal plain and the rugged northwestern highlands. Self-sufficiency is mandatory throughout — riders manage their own nutrition, rest and bike maintenance without external support. With 394 kilometres of varied terrain and a moderate cumulative elevation profile, the core challenge is not any single climb but the metabolic efficiency built during the base phase and the hour-by-hour pacing developed with the coach: without that combination, cumulative fatigue can be as limiting as any col, and autonomous fuelling — trained through the nutrition pillar — stops being a logistical chore and becomes a genuine competitive advantage. The ideal event for bikepackers wanting to explore the Murcian interior, a territory far less covered by the spotlight than the broader Levante region.
