The Traka 2025: The Queen of Gravel Returns to Girona

In 2025, The Traka returns with even more intensity, breathtaking scenery, and terrain ready to challenge even the most experienced riders.
The Traka 2025: Dates, Location, and Format

The Traka offers a range of distances to suit all fitness levels:
360 km – The ultimate challenge, reserved for gravel heroes.
200 km – A pure adventure of skill and stamina.
100 km – The perfect balance between fun and challenge.
50 km – Your gateway to the gravel world.
Each route is designed to deliver stunning landscapes, technical sections, tough climbs, and fast descents. 100% gravel.
The Routes: Where The Traka is Won
The Traka’s course is a journey through wild nature, tough terrain, and pure adrenaline. Starting and finishing in Girona, riders cross rivers, conquer forests, and take on rolling hills.
The climbs of Les Gavarres: a classic that separates the grinders from the dreamers.
The muddy and rocky sectors of the 360 km: only for those with the legs, mindset, and shoes to match.
The wind: friend or foe, it decides when to push or hold you back.
Every turn is a choice. Every descent, a thrill. Every kilometer, a story to tell.
Gravel, Community, Adventure: The Spirit of The Traka
The Traka is more than just performance. It’s about camaraderie, friendship, and respect for nature. It’s that moment when you stop checking the clock and only feel your legs, your breath, and the gravel under your wheels.
From elite athletes to amateurs, everyone shares the same goal: reaching the finish line—hopefully with a smile and a good layer of mud. The real win? Living the full experience.
Experience The Traka with DMT: Community, Performance, and Gravel Passion
The Traka isn’t just a race—it’s a moment to meet, share, and embrace the gravel culture. And we at DMT will be there to bring our spirit to the event with an authentic and action-packed program.
Thursday, May 1: we’ll host a coffee ride and an after-ride party with music, snacks, and good vibes. We’ll team up with our friends at EAT Sleep Cycle, our go-to crew in Girona. It’ll be an open event for everyone: athletes, ambassadors, partner brands, and, of course, the many local and international riders in town.
On Friday and throughout the weekend, we’ll be present in The Traka’s expo areas, actively engaging with the event’s side activities and strengthening our connection with the off-road community.
We’ll also host product talks during the event, giving a first look at our new KM0 EVO—our flagship off-road shoe. We’ll dive into the tech, the innovation, and the crossover with road performance, with stories from top athletes like Tadej Pogačar who already ride with DMT.
