The Mallorca 312 pulls in more riders every April than any other cycling event on the island — here's what actually matters on race day, from the guides who've ridden it more times than we can count.
Quick answer
- The Mallorca 312 OK Mobility Gran Fondo runs April 25, 2026, starting at Platja de Muro, with around 8,000 riders choosing between 167 km, 225 km, or the full 312 km.
- The route hits the Serra de Tramuntana's climbs early, then flattens into rolling terrain — including Tofla in Alaró — for the second half.
- Decide your distance before race day; the split happens mid-route and isn't the moment to change your mind.
- Dress for a cold start (arm warmers, light base layer) and fuel early and often — it's a long day regardless of which distance you pick.

This year, many cyclists trusted Medfeel to take care of their travel, bike rentals, and accommodation, turning their race week into a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Whether you're going full gas for 312 km or just soaking up the atmosphere, here's what you need to know to ride smart and enjoy the experience.
1. Stick to Your Plan
Before you even clip in, decide which route you're riding: 167 km, 225 km, or the full 312 km. The decision point happens mid-race, and it's easy to be tempted when you're feeling strong or tired. But trust your training. Stick to the plan you prepared for and avoid last-minute changes.
2. Prep Your Bike and Carry Basic Tools
Whether you're bringing your own bike or renting one, make sure it's ready to roll. Check the brakes, gears, tire pressure, and battery levels, and ensure everything is clean and well-lubed. If you rent from a trusted company like Medfeel, your bike will be race-ready, but still take it for a quick spin and fine-tune your fit. Always carry a repair kit with a multitool, spare tube, and inflator or CO₂ cartridge.
3. Early Start Means Early Night
The event starts at dawn, so go to bed early and give yourself enough time for a solid breakfast and a stress-free rollout. A calm morning makes a huge difference.
4. Dress for a Cold Start
Mornings in Mallorca can be chilly in April. Start with arm warmers, a light base layer, and a thin vest. You can always peel off layers as the sun rises.
5. Be Careful and Stay Safe on the Road
The first kilometers can be crowded. Stay alert, hold your line, and avoid sudden moves. Downhills might be slippery early in the morning due to humidity, so don't take unnecessary risks. To avoid crowds, arrive early — or choose Medfeel's premium package to start right behind the pros with extra space and comfort.
6. Start Easy in the Serra de Tramuntana
The first part of the route winds through the stunning Serra de Tramuntana, famous for its climbs and switchbacks. Enjoy the views but pace yourself — there's still a long way to go.
7. Eat, Drink, Repeat
This is a long day in the saddle. Fuel early and often. Bars, gels, salts, and energy drinks should all be part of your strategy. Refill bottles, take advantage of feed zones, and don't forget sunscreen.
8. Watch the Time — but Don't Stress
There are official cut-off points on each route, so keep an eye on the clock, but don't obsess over it. Focus on pacing and enjoy the journey.
9. Flat Doesn't Mean Easy
After the mountains, the route becomes flatter. Don't underestimate it. You'll still find rolling terrain and climbs like Tofla in Alaró. Study the route and elevation so you know what's coming.
10. Enjoy Every Moment
You're part of one of the biggest cycling festivals in Europe, surrounded by 8,000 cycling enthusiasts. Take photos, cheer others on, and soak in the Mediterranean scenery. Whether you ride 167 or 312 kilometers, the goal is to have an unforgettable experience.
