Race Course
The competition is held on a 13k long course (to follow the link google earth is needed) in an out that during the event is closed to traffic.
The road conditions are perfect, allowing the cyclists to ride safely, during day and night.
The route profile leaves no doubt about the difficulty of the race. It’s all rolling hills along the coastline, with some short but steep climbs. The biggest challenge is the climb right at the beginning called “The Beach Park Climb”. Inevitable, the uphill demands attention and the perfect gear (25 or 27 teeth is highly recommended). Despite only 200 meters, it’s very steep and situated just before the 1k mark.
At this time of the year in Porto da Dunas, the winds are very strong and constant, the heat oscillates between 24°C (75°F) during the night hours and 37°C (98°F) in the afternoon.
The full moon will give the competitors a privileged beach, dunes and Atlantic Ocean view. The Desafio24h starts on Saturday at 8AM right in front of the Beach Park Suites Resort and ends 24 hours later on the same place.
