Pinsapo Bike Race Sierra de las Nieves 2026

The Pinsapo Bike Race Sierra de las Nieves is a two-stage mountain bike race held in Yunquera, within Malaga's Sierra de las Nieves. Taking place in November, it utilizes the Andalusian mountain terrain as the primary challenge. Participants must complete both stages, distinguishing it from a single-day event or a simple route challenge. The race has a limit of 200 participants and features a unique format where riders compete in pairs, though each person registers individually. The race is organized by the Yunquera town council and caters to a wide range of riders, not just a specific age demographic. Categories include Elite, Sub-23, Junior, Cadete, and Masters (ages 30 to 60), with separate male and female divisions. Additionally, there are pair classifications for mixed teams, women's teams, age-group teams, and overall pair standings. Bib collection occurs just before the afternoon start, contributing to the event's intimate, local feel despite its challenging two-stage structure.
