About the Event

Challenge yourself on hallowed ground at the Reconco Gerês Granfondo, Portugal's oldest and most prestigious granfondo, set for June 7, 2026. This legendary event returns to the breathtaking landscapes of the Peneda-Gerês National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve offering some of Europe's most spectacular riding. You'll conquer iconic "walls" like the punishing climbs of Pincães and Ermida, weaving a path past serene mountain reservoirs and through the wild heart of the Serra da Cabreira. Choose your perfect level of epic, from a challenging 56km minifondo to the full 130km granfondo, a true test of endurance over relentless, rewarding terrain. Experience a cycling pilgrimage that blends raw natural beauty with deep Portuguese cycling tradition. It's more than a race; it's a journey through ancient landscapes that will define your season and leave you with unforgettable memories.
