About

Santa Vall by The Traka opens the Gravel Earth Series season with a two-stage event based around Sant Gregori, a valley-rich area of interior trails north of Girona. Stage one covers 120 kilometres followed by 82 kilometres on day two, adding up to 2,700 metres of total elevation across sustained climbs and technical descents through oak and beech woodland. The Traka brand is synonymous with meticulous organization, accurate course marking and a strong international community feel. In a stage format, inter-day recovery becomes a performance variable in its own right: the 12-week programme specifically addresses load and recovery between effort days, and the activation nutrition phase — with a post-stage refuelling and sleep strategy — is what determines whether you race the second stage or merely survive it. As the opening round of the Gravel Earth Series, it draws riders from across Europe seeking ideal winter racing conditions.
