WELCOME TO THE Algarve Bike Challenge
A demanding yet rewarding 3-day stage race!
The Algarve Bike Challenge was created in 2013 as a unique and innovative event – a multi-stage MTB race based in the magnificent city of Tavira, offering participants and companions a truly memorable weekend.
Over the years, the ABC has established itself as one of the most important races on the Iberian calendar due to the quality of the organization, diverse trails, race spirit, weather condition and friendly staff.
With a fresh new route each year, it’s a unique test of endurance, resolve and skill with the staggering beauty of the Algarve’s Atlantic Southwest Coastline, diverse scenic landscape set as the perfect antidote to the physical and mental demands of off-road racing. Solo and Two-person teams, either top professionals and ambitious amateurs alike, explore the seemingly endless, magical trails, staying overnight in double rooms in the Vila Gale Hotels – an unforgettable sunshine experience in south Portugal!
