It started in 2001 and has been held 23 times as of 2024. The race is usually about 110 to 120 kilometers long. That's like riding your bike from one city to another! It's a challenging course for the riders.

About the Race Categories

When a bike race is "categorized," it means it has a certain level of importance. From 2005 to 2019, the Durango-Durango Emakumeen Saria was a "1.2" event. This meant it was a very good race, but not the highest level. Now, it's a "1.1-categorised" race. This means it's even more important and attracts top riders from around the world!
