Marathon
Half Marathon
SNL MTB RACE MARATHON
The route of the SNL MTB RACE Marathon starts at 8:00 am from the town of Pinos Genil and ends in Cenes de la Vega.
The municipalities of passage are: Pinos Genil - Dúdar - Beas de Granada - Tocón de Quéntar - Güejar Sierra - Dúdar - Cenes de la Vega
The route runs mainly along paths, lanes and tracks. After leaving Pinos Genil, we start a very demanding climb on a wide road until we reach the top of the hill and then start a steep descent on a wide road until we reach Dúdar. After crossing Dúdar we start the climb to the quarries, a long and demanding but not very technical climb. After the steep climb, we will start a downhill section on very enjoyable trails that will take us to the source of the Aguas Blanca river. From there, we will start a long and straightforward climb along a track to the Alto de Blancares. Once we have reached the top of the Alto de Blancares, we descend along paths to Tocón de Quéntar. At this point we will start a long climb on tracks that will take us to the beginning of the great final climb, the Collado del Alguacil. This climb starts on a track and then becomes tarmac for the last 3 km before reaching the top. After reaching the top of the Collado del Alguacil, we descend along a path with some short, somewhat more technical sections until we reach Güejar Sierra. After crossing Güejar Sierra we face the last 20 kms on roads with demanding climbs and descents to Dúdar, from there we will face the final very demanding climb before facing the last descent to Cenes de la Vega where the finish line is located.
Finsiher medals will be awarded at the finish line in Cenes de la Vega and there will be a refreshment point at the finish line and the showers.
