ABOUT EL PIRI

El Piri is a solo and unsupported bikepacking gravel adventure through the Catalan Pyrenees. The route covers 800 kilometres with 20,000 meters of elevation. The formal event runs on the 14th June 2025.  

The name El Piri is short for L’esperit del Pirineus, which is Catalan for ‘the spirit of the Pyrenees’. Our logo is inspired by our family dog, Piri, who is a Catalan sheep dog. Piri’s fun and energetic nature embodies the spirit we seek for the event. He loves nothing more than being outside adventuring in the mountains.

El Piri has been devised to offer a fun but achievable challenge. While riders did comment it was tough and at points rough, the inaugural edition of El Piri in 2024 had an 80% finish rate. For us, we want people to go on a fun and fulfilling adventure, growing and deepening their love of the sport.
