CLASSIC 126KM

The Transgrancanaria Classic is like life itself. It consists of 126 kilometers and almost 7,000 meters of positive elevation gain that transport you to a world of physical and psychological sensations that unfold as the hours go by. It’s tough, but as our claim says, ‘A goal, A dream.’ Maspalomas awaits with open arms to welcome you after 12, 15, 20, or 30 hours that seem like a lifetime.
