About these measurements
Tour Explore derives route geometry, measured distance, elevation gain, highest point, and gradient from the GPX track. Official distance, route classification, checkpoints, and results are sourced separately. Both measured and official distance are shown when available because route geometry and organizer figures can differ.
Stage modified due to weather
Shortened due to extreme heat under the organizer’s Extreme Weather Protocol. The revised course takes the CO-3402 towards Santa María de Trassierra, removing the Villaviciosa de Córdoba loop.
