This 2017 edition of the Mobel Sierra Espuña Cycle Race will be held on Sunday 26 March, starting and finishing at the Paraje del Monasterio de Santa Eulalia, in Totana.
Registration is now open for the 2nd edition of the "Mobel Sierra Espuña" medium distance cycling race, organised by the Santa Eulalia Cycling Club and Mobel Sport. With a route of 107 km, medium and high mountain, the main protagonist is Sierra Espuña and the towns that surround it: Totana, Alhama de Murcia and El Berro, the high districts of Lorca, Aledo and the orchards of Totana.

The start will take place at 9.00 am from the Monastery of Santa Eulalia (Totana) and the finish line will be located a few metres away, at the Alto del Corazón de Jesús. All the details of the route and other information will be published on the web site of the CC Santa Eulalia and in the Facebook of the event.
Almost 600 cyclists gathered in the last 2016 edition to enjoy a new Medio Fondo cyclotourism challenge that rolled through a spectacular environment, Sierra Espuña and its surrounding towns, with the mythical ascent to the Alto del Collado Bermejo - Cima Marco Pantani PM 1st Cat. With 100% spring weather: sun, clouds, some cool, heat at the end and even a few drops on the highest peaks that did not tarnish a very nice day. The Mobel Sierra Espuña 2016 did not lack a detail and the organization, as usual in the CC Santa Eulalia, had everything perfectly controlled to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all cyclists. The route was perfectly coordinated and fully signposted, a whole structure as in the best cyclotourist marches. The spectacle and fun were guaranteed.
The usual training area for cyclists such as Alejandro Valverde, Luis León Sánchez, José Joaquín Rojas and Rubén Fernández was the ideal setting for a new challenge for all those who wish to experience the beauty of these Murcian landscapes of great cycling tradition, as well as its toughness, although the profile was suitable for all levels.
In addition, the event, which is part of the Murcia Region Cycle Tourist Challenge calendar, has a large parking area, showers, two refreshment stations, two timed sections and an aperitif/meal at the end.
