The race begins in the historic center of San Luis Potosí, touring the emblematic places of the city, such as the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Municipal Palace and Morales Park. It offers participants a unique combination of cultural heritage and high speed in the first few kilometres.

The decisive moment begins just outside the city, before Pozuelos, where you will begin a 13 km ascent, with an average gradient of 3% and a maximum of 7.9%. This ascent will test your endurance and strategy, offering minimal relief, but maximum satisfaction upon completion. Once at the top, you'll enjoy panoramic views of San Luis Potosi and the Sierra de San Miguelito, a unique interplay between the tranquility of nature and the energy of the city.

After the ascent, the circuit transforms into a fluid descent on wide roads with views of the Sierra. Upon returning to the city, be prepared for the enthusiasm of the public on your way to the finish line. You will pass through Tangamanga Park and emblematic places such as the Glorieta Benito Juárez, before the final stretch towards the city center.

Medium-route riders will cross the finish line here, while long-route riders will prepare for a second lap to celebrate the victory. This route is designed not only as a physical and tactical battlefield, but also as a display of resilience and strategy.
