CAT700

CAT700, an adventure in capital letters

Explore. Explore absolutely free. This is what we offer you in the CAT700, the pioneering event of bikepacking and self-sufficiency in southern Europe since 2015. A large-scale event, where there is no shortage of human experience, the intensity of the landscape contrasts that unite high mountains with the sea and, above all, the accumulation of memories and experiences that will mark you forever. The CAT700 is an adventure, an invitation to the epic in which there are no borders between night and day. But don’t be afraid: as it is not competitive, you can take it as a contemplative journey that invites you to stop at a bar and start conversations with the locals, spend some time photographing the surroundings, or simply let your thoughts wander for a moment.

Dates. The 2026 edition will take place from June 19th to 22th.
