Sat 24 Apr 2027Ride day on closed roads. Start 6:30 am at Platja de Muro; the 312 finish closes at 8:40 pm.
Mallorca 312 is one of Europe's biggest and toughest sportives: a 312 km lap of the island on closed roads, with around 5,000 m of climbing, most of it through the Serra de Tramuntana in the first half of the day. Shorter 226 km and 167 km routes start alongside it, and you can switch to a shorter route during the ride as long as you make the cut-offs.
This guide covers the routes, the climbs, the feed stations and cut-offs, how long it will take you and how to train for it. It is written by our coaches, who have raced at World Tour level and run our own training camps on the island.

The routes and the climbs
All three routes start and finish at Platja de Muro on the bay of Alcúdia. The 312 rides flat to Pollença, then straight into the Serra de Tramuntana: Coll de Femenia, the rolling road past Lluc and Coll de sa Batalla, and the drag past the Gorg Blau reservoir to the tunnel under Puig Major, the highest point of the day at about 880 m. A 14 km descent drops to Sóller, then the route follows the coast road through Deià, Valldemossa, Banyalbufar and Estellencs to Andratx, before Galilea and Es Grau, the last real climbs. After Lloseta the 312 heads through the flatter centre and east of the island via Ariany and Artà. It is rolling rather than mountainous, but it is where long days are won or lost.

Climb data from Climbfinder, Cycling Locations and Epic Road Rides; course km are approximate and based on recent editions.
Start steady. Femenia comes within the first hour with thousands of riders around you. Ride it at tempo, not threshold.
Puig Major is long, not steep. Keep your power even and eat on the way up; there is a feed station at Gorg Blau (km 50).
Take care on the descents. The roads are closed, but the Tramuntana descents are technical and busy, and can be greasy if it has rained.
April weather. Expect a start around 15°C and afternoon highs of about 23°C, often with wind on the open roads in the second half.
Use the groups. After Lloseta the terrain flattens and groups form. Riding in a group here saves a lot of energy.
The 312, section by section
Mallorca 312 is two different rides. The first 150 km are mountain riding, with nearly all of the climbing. The last 160 km are an endurance test on rolling, exposed roads. Ride the mountains at around 70–75% of your FTP, keep something back for the second half, and use the groups in the interior.
Course km
Section
What to expect
0–22
Platja de Muro to Pollença
Flat, fast and crowded. Stay calm, stay near the front of your group and eat early.
22–31
Coll de Femenia
About 8 km at 5–6%. Ride it below your normal climbing pace, even if the bunch pushes.
31–53
Lluc to Puig Major
Rolling climb with short ramps, the Gorg Blau feed at km 50, then the final drag to the tunnel at about 880 m.
53–67
Descent to Sóller
About 14 km of switchbacks. Take it steady on a crowded road; this is not the place to gain time.
67–97
Coll d’en Bleda and Deià
A short climb out of Sóller, then the rolling coast road past Deià. Sa Foradada feed at km 86, first cut-off at km 97 at 11:15 am.
97–130
Valldemossa to Andratx
Sa Bastida feed at km 101, then Banyalbufar, Coll des Pi (feed at km 114), Estellencs and Sa Gramola before dropping to Andratx.
130–158
Galilea and Es Grau
Es Capdellà feed at km 137, then the last two real climbs. Sa Granja feed near Esporles at km 158.
158–194
Alaró to Lloseta
Narrow roads with short ramps. The 226 turns back towards Platja de Muro here.
194–312
Interior and Artà
Rolling and exposed, often windy. Second cut-off at km 220 at 4:30 pm, feeds at Ariany (km 244) and Artà (km 287), then the flat run home.

How long will the main climbs take you?
On a day this long, most riders climb at about 70–75% of their FTP. If your FTP is 3.3 W/kg, plan on roughly 2.4 W/kg on the climbs. Find your row below to see what the four biggest climbs will take.

Our estimates for a 75 kg rider on a 9 kg bike, holding steady power with no stops or bunch effects. Lluc to Puig Major is modelled in sections, including the flatter middle part.
The climbs are only part of the day. Most riders finishing the 312 take 12 to 14 hours, and the long, often windy second half decides that time far more than the mountains do. Use the finish-time calculator below to check yourself against the cut-offs.

Status
Based on the 2027 rules (6:30 am start, finish cut-offs) and intermediate cut-offs from recent editions. Riders at the back can start around 7:00 am, so build in that margin. Assumes an even average speed, so you will be slower than shown on the climbs and faster on the descents. Stops are spread across the day in proportion to distance.
16-week Mallorca 312 training plan
Start by Saturday 2 January 2027 and you have 16 weeks. For many riders that block falls in winter, so plan on structured indoor sessions midweek and long outdoor rides at the weekend. Peak weeks reach 10 to 14 hours for the 312, less for the shorter routes.
Weeks 1–6: Aerobic base
Mostly zone 2, building weekly volume by about 10% with an easier week every third or fourth week. One tempo or sweet spot session a week, indoors if the weather is poor. The long ride grows to 4–5 hours.
Weeks 7–12: Build and climbing durability
Long rides reach 6–7 hours with 2,000–3,000 m of climbing. Add sustained climbs of 30–60 minutes at tempo to prepare for Femenia and Puig Major, plus back-to-back weekend days. Fuel every long ride at race rates.
Weeks 13–14: Race-specific
Your biggest weekends, ideally on a training camp or in the mountains. Ride long climbs at your target race power, then hold a steady pace on flatter roads late in the ride, just as you will after Lloseta.
Weeks 15–16: Taper
Cut volume by 40–50% but keep a few short efforts at race intensity. Arrive on the island a couple of days early, spin the legs, check your bike and sort your food and bottles for the day.
Four weeks out, on Saturday 27 March 2027, do your last big rehearsal: 7 to 8 hours with plenty of climbing, at your target pace, with the food, bottles and kit you will use on the day.
Why riders hire a coach for Mallorca 312
The plan above shows the shape of a good build. The hard part is making it work through winter around work and family, and arriving in Mallorca fit, healthy and ready for 11 to 14 hours on the bike. We prepare riders for big European sportives every season, and this is where a coach makes the difference:
A plan that fits your life. Peak weeks of 10 to 14 hours rarely fit a template. Your coach adjusts every week around work, travel, weather and how you are recovering, so missed sessions do not snowball.
Built on your data. We analyse your rides in WKO5 to see how your power holds up after five or six hours, then train exactly that. It is what keeps you moving well through Ariany and Artà.
A pacing plan for the day. Target power for Femenia and Puig Major, plus a feed-station plan, so you stay well inside the cut-offs or chase your goal time.
Fuelling practised in training. Your coach builds gut training into your long rides so you can eat enough for 312 km.
Coaches who have raced at the top. Our coaches have raced at World Tour level and know these roads from racing and training camps on the island.
Winter accountability. Regular check-ins keep you consistent through the dark months, when it is easiest to slip.
At 11 to 14 hours for most riders, Mallorca 312 is as much an eating challenge as a riding one. Aim for 60–90 g of carbohydrate an hour from the start, and train your gut to handle it on your long rides.
Start eating in the first hour, before Femenia, while it is still easy.
Use the feed stations to refill bottles and take real food, but carry your own gels or bars so you are not relying on what is on offer.
Drink to thirst and add electrolytes. April afternoons can be warm, especially inland.
Eat well at Lloseta (km 194) before the long run east to Artà.
Bike, gearing and kit
A road bike with a compact chainset (50/34) and an 11-30 or 11-32 cassette suits most riders. E-bikes, time trial and triathlon bikes and fixies are not allowed, and both wheels must have brakes.
Arm warmers and a gilet for the cool start and the long descents.
Two bottles and enough food to get between feed stations.
A spare tube, tyre levers, a multi-tool and CO2 or a mini pump.
Tyres of 28 mm or wider for comfort over a long day.
Your timing chip fixed to the number on your handlebars. Riders without a reading at every control point are not classified.

Saturday 24 April 2027. All three routes start at 6:30 am from Platja de Muro in the north of the island and finish back there.
Which Mallorca 312 route should I choose?
Choose the 312 if you have already ridden 200 km or more and can train 10 or more hours a week in your peak block. The 226 still covers the big Tramuntana climbs but with an earlier finish. The 167 is a hard but realistic first big mountain day.
What are the Mallorca 312 cut-off times?
In recent editions the 312 and 226 had to reach km 97 by 11:15 am, and the 312 had to reach km 220 by 4:30 pm. The finish closes at 8:40 pm for the 312 and 5 pm for the 226 and 167. Check the official 2027 route schedule before the event.
How hard is Mallorca 312?
The 312 has around 5,000 m of climbing, most of it in the first 150 km through the Serra de Tramuntana, and just over 14 hours to finish. The climbs are steady rather than steep, so the challenge is pacing the mountains and eating enough to keep riding strongly across the flatter second half.
How long should I train for Mallorca 312?
16 weeks is a good minimum if you already ride regularly, which means starting by Saturday 2 January 2027. If the 312 will be your first ride over 200 km, allow six months.
What gearing do I need for Mallorca 312?
A compact chainset (50/34) with an 11-30 or 11-32 cassette suits most riders. The climbs are mostly 5–7%, so you do not need very low gears, but easier gearing saves your legs for the second half.
