Race off-road across Spain and Portugal in the Powerade MTB Non Stop Series
The Powerade MTB Non Stop Series crosses the Iberian Peninsula, from Madrid to Lisbon and from Barcelona to San Sebastian, non-stop…
The Powerade MTB Non Stop Series is organised by RPM, the people behind the Titan Desert race in Morocco, and is sponsored by Coca-Cola’s POWERADE sports drink brand.
2015 will be the third edition. The race is straightforward enough, if a bit daunting: cover the 770km that separate Madrid from Lisbon, or the 550km that separate Barcelona from San Sebastian, by any trail or track in the shortest possible time, in teams and without stops.
These races will require clever strategy, with teams and relaying of riders important for the overall result.
1000 riders registered in both 2013 and 2014, and within 3 weeks of opening registration for 2015 they had 300 riders registered.
The race dates are from 5th to 7th June for the Barcelona to San Sebastian event and from 25th to 27th September 2015 for Madrid to Lisbon.
