Now in its eighth edition, the Granfondo Squali-Trek is among the top five cyclosportive in Italy in terms of size and number of participants.
The event, organised by the Velo Club Cattolica and the Ciclo Team 2001 Gabicce Mare, is an amateur sporting event dedicated to cycling, which takes place over a long distance.
This year the magic will be repeated from 12th to 14th May, when sportsmen, enthusiasts and cycling novices will meet in Cattolica for three days of sport.
The centre of the entire competition, as well as the base camp, will be the Shark Arena, located inside the Cattolica Aquarium Park, an expo space with the presence of over 70 exhibitors.
There are two routes planned: the Short route of 85 km with 1365 metres of altitude difference and the Long route of 135 km, for an impressive 2180 metres of altitude difference.
The planned start is from the Cattolica's Aquarium, while the finish line is on the hill of Gabicce Monte. Here, there will be the now famous Maxi Ristoro: a rich grilled blue fish served with piadina.
