Ancares Cycling Marathon was born in 2021 as a large popular cross-country that takes place in the heart of the Os Ancares Natural Park (Lugo), an area of landscape and cultural resources of national relevance, full of legends, unique traditions and environmental values.

Los Ancares, far from the stereotype of a tourist mountain, offers an authentic, natural, isolated and magical environment in which to develop this sport through its infinite and lonely roads.

On August 10, the fifth edition of the Ancares Cycling Marathon will be held, with two route options. A race that year after year brings together several hundred cycling fans, who discover what for many of them is an unknown terrain. In addition, supporting the practice of cycling and becoming the great high mountain distance of reference in Galicia, are two of the other objectives with which the event was born.

This project could not exist without the involvement of the Sports Area of the Lugo Provincial Council, which is committed to a path in which sport and responsible tourism walk hand in hand. It was also born from the joining of forces of the Clube Ciclista Cidade de Lugo, organizer of the well-known Volta a Lugo Challenge, and the company EME Sports, which contributes its experience in large-scale events in this field, such as the popular Gran Fondo Ézaro (which every year brings together a multitudinous and international peloton on the Costa da Morte) or the professional cycling tour O Gran Camiño. a success in its first two editions.
