The 'Granfondo Squali Trek 2025' event, now in its tenth edition, is a race included in the Ale Challenge, Granfondo Marche and Nalini Road Series circuits, and is also confirmed for 2025 in the Presitigio Cicloturismo circuit.
The three-day sporting event boasts important numbers that place it among the most appreciated and attended Italian amateur events. With over 3,000 registered participants and a turnout of around 10,000 people over the race weekend, the Squali Trek is the fourth largest Italian event in terms of participation.
The event will take place from 9 to 11 May 2025.
A logistics area of 46,000 square metres with the now legendary SHARKARENA set in the highly original setting of the Cattolica Aquarium: a space dedicated to the expo area with the presence of over 70 exhibitors not only from the sector.
Three splendid routes designed for all types of muscles and desire to pedal. The medium route of 85 km with 1393 m of elevation gain and the long route of 128 km with a good 2020 m of elevation gain cross territories forged for bicycle lovers, immersed in nature.
The third route, shorter and lighter, is suitable for all those who want to experience the emotions of the Squali Teek first hand - with racing bikes, mountain bikes or even e-bikes - without the agonism of the race and the nagging of the stopwatch. A route designed with neophytes and tourists with a passion for cycling in mind, created with the aim of allowing them to 'experience' the beauty of the area at the right pace, savouring the surrounding landscape in peace and safety, escorted by bike guides.
Three refuelling points will be set up for the Long Course and two for the Short Course.
A maxi refreshment point will be set up at the end of the event: grilled blue fish, piadina romagnola and beer.
Saturday 10 May is instead the date with the SQUALI GRAVEL, not a simple cycle-tour through the Conca Valley, but a real journey of emotions and pure relaxation in close contact with the nature of a still unexplored territory, pedalling along the white roads of the Romagna hinterland.
The event will be framed by animation with radio, music and DJSet
