Alicante900

Alicante900 is a 950-kilometer road ultra starting in Alicante on Spain's Costa Blanca, exploring the diverse landscapes of the eastern Spanish Mediterranean coast and its mountainous hinterland. The Alicante province offers a striking combination of coastal Mediterranean scenery and the dramatic interior mountains of the Valencian Community, including ranges like the Sierra de Aitana and the Sierra de Mariola, giving riders a route that mixes coastal road riding with serious climbing in the interior. The October timing takes advantage of the milder autumn temperatures in this part of Spain, avoiding the intense summer heat that makes the region challenging for endurance cycling in July and August.

The near-round-number distance branding of '900' in the event name reflects a common convention among European road ultras of naming the event for its approximate kilometer distance, giving riders an immediate sense of scale before they even research the specific route. Alicante's well-developed tourism and transport infrastructure, including a major international airport, makes the event relatively accessible for international participants.
