MTB Mediterranean Epic 2026 🇪🇸 (XCM) – Stage 2 – Oropesa del Mar CRONO : 57,10 km ; 1650m D+
The SCOTT Mediterranean Epic MTB is one of the most prestigious multi-stage mountain bike races on the international scene. With a route that seamlessly blends the Mediterranean coast of Oropesa del Mar with the mountains of the Castellón province, this UCI Hors Catégorie event is not only a must-do for elite cyclists from around the world, but also for all those passionate mountain bike enthusiasts looking to push their limits in a top-level competition.
On this second adventure, we’re heading to Castellón, a true sports playground! If I had to describe this course in one word, it would be “paradise” , almost 60 kilometers of flowing trails that will keep even the bravest riders wide-eyed with every pedal stroke.
This edition kicks off with a climb up the quarry, followed by two warm-up trails, leading straight into the toughest climb of the course: the “Barranco dels Porcs.” This climb brings us to a trail that drops us at the first feed station. From there, we start the ascent to the Sierra de Borriol, making our way to the Villafamés antennas, passing through two incredible and super fun trails along the way. Right there, the longest trail of the course begins—amix of a short downhilltrack and a second flowytrailthat really keeps the momentum going.Crossing to the other side of the highway, we enter a rolling trail with red clay terrain and amazing grip. A short but intense climb follows, connecting directly to another trail of the same terrain type, full of rollers and flowing sections , that brings us to the second feed station to refuel. From there, it’s back toward the quarry and up to the Mirador de la Plana.
Thisisrock & roll at its finest, a coursethat willkeepmorethan one rider smiling all the way to the finish line or maybe even until the next day!
