  Love and respect for the environment, sportsmanship, and solidarity with all your fellow participants. The Traka 360 is an opportunity to enjoy the most beautiful areas of our territory with gravel, leaving no trace. Your goal is to finish; ours is to take care of you to the fullest.
• ADVENTURE
  You can deviate from the track to eat, drink, sleep, or repair your bike. Afterwards, you will have to resume the route from the same point where you left it. In case of abandonment, you must arrange your return. Remember that it is strictly prohibited to return via highways and national roads.
• TRACK
  Once the track is uploaded to the GPS, check that the map is correctly uploaded. All paths are clear; if you encounter a path covered with branches, you must turn back. In case you come across a road blocked due to a traffic accident or construction, you can recalculate to return to the track as soon as possible.
• EMERGENCIES
  In the event of a physical or mechanical emergency, you can take any means of transportation, but you must communicate it to the organization beforehand. To continue, you will have to restart the route from the same point where you left it.
• MATERIAL
  Carrying the appropriate equipment is your responsibility, but the rear red light, the front white light, the mobile phone without silencing in case we need to call you, and the geolocator that we will provide are mandatory. It is also highly recommended to have a bell to alert pedestrians. The rest of the equipment to face 360 km is up to you: sleeping bag, food, credit cards, etc.

  A support and safety team will follow you throughout the 24 hours of the event. Emergency contact numbers can be found on your race bib. Remember that you must have insurance to participate. If you haven’t purchased it at the time of registration because you already have one, make sure it covers the full 24 hours
• SURFACE
  80% well-maintained gravel paths, 5% singletrack, and 15% secondary roads. For us, the best tire choice, if you are a skilled rider, is 40mm, and if you are less technical, between 42mm and 45mm. It is also always advisable to use 700c wheels.
• WEATHER
  The temperatures at this time of the year range between 15 and 25 degrees, depending on whether it’s cloudy or sunny. The northern part of the route may experience the Tramontana wind; there are about 150 days of north wind per year. However, it’s not a common occurrence, but it’s always good to be prepared. Keep in mind that the Mediterranean climate is very diverse and changeable. You may encounter rain or wind during the event
