The Pyrenean Rally is a two-chapter odyssey across the Pyrenees, from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic on a mixed-terrain route over endless Spanish pistas, and back to the Mediterranean on an all-paved route over legendary French cols.

Riders swap tyres halfway through and agree to stop for an average of at least six hours per day.
The Tyre-Swap: At CP2, participants will access their Gear Bag and a service area equipped with basic tools to change tyres before tackling the paved section.
The #6HoursAlliance: Participants agree to stop for an average of at least six hours per day. Their personal GPS tracker will record moving and stopping times, and our friends at @fmchallenge will tweak the tracking system to display any remaining rest time needed to meet the requirement — making it easy to understand and follow for both riders and dot-watchers.
At the finish line, if the stopping time falls short, we simply adjust the final result by adding the difference, with no additional penalties.
The route adds up to 1,800 km and 46,000 m of climbing, to be completed within a two-week cut-off.
