BOTS RACE is the ultimate Battle of the Strait. It
is a free-route ultra that links the Strait of Gibraltar, starting and
finishing in Tarifa.
There are 10 checkpoints to achieve between the Strait of
Gibraltar and you decide on strategy and direction. With approx 1300km route to
traverse and 24,000m elevation gain.
This race comes with ‘caviar roads’, a new race concept, that
will undoubtedly add a unique dynamic to an already exiting format and will
only be revealed to riders in the race manual.
From the get go, you as a rider choose which half of the strait
to hit first. Do you immediately head north to scale some of the highest
sierras of southern Spain? Or will you cross over to the Kingdom of Morocco and
spine south along the mysterious Rif mountains to explore the deep nexus that
exits between the two continents.
Regardless, which ever way you go, be sure that this race will
not disappoint in terms of beauty and difficulty. So come well prepared in
tools and stamina.
The first rider to complete all checkpoints in the fastest order
and in the spirit of self supported, is crowned the winner.
