About

Vacaloura Gravel brings gravel racing to the Galician interior, specifically the flat lowlands of Terra Cha in Lugo province, departing from Castro de Rei. Two distances cater to different ambitions: 100 km with 1,400 metres of climbing for those seeking a fuller challenge, and a 55 km route as an accessible alternative. The Terra Cha landscape, a wide inland plain dotted with rivers, meadows and stone hamlets, delivers quintessentially Galician rural track riding, lush, sometimes wet and punctuated by short sharp climbs. Push Rider's race-specific phase of the 12-week plan targets the repeated short-ramp relaunch pattern typical of the humid northwest, and weekly coach review incorporates the sport psychology pillar to manage the accumulated neuromuscular fatigue of relentless rollers. A locally rooted event with a growing following among gravel riders from the northwest.
