Mallorca cycling calendar: which events you can enter

If you want to ride an event on Mallorca, plan around the day entries open, and be at your keyboard for it. The island stages 117 federated cycling events a year and 9 of them can be entered by a rider without a Spanish competition licence. 5 of those 9 were called off. The two events every search returns, the 312 and the Ironman, are the hardest to get into: entries for the 312 opened on 6 October 2026 and went in seconds last time, and the Zafiro IRONMAN 70.3 Alcúdia-Mallorca on 8 May 2027 is already sold out, nine months out.

The calendar below starts with the part you can still act on: the licence-free season closed on 25 October 2026, and the next one is a 2027 question, and 106 of the 117 federated events are already behind.

What the 2026 season looked like, and what to do with that

Everything below this section is the 2026 season as a whole, and most of it has happened.

All of it has. The last licence-free start anywhere in the archipelago was 25 October 2026, and the federation publishes the next season's dates over the winter — so what this page is good for today is the shape of the year, which barely moves.

The next licence-free start anywhere in the archipelago is a 2027 question. The federation publishes its calendar over the winter, and when it does this page will lead with it again. Until then the useful part of this page is below: which months carry rides, which of them get called off, and how much of the island's calendar a visiting rider can enter at all.

What the spring held, and what next spring will look like

The autumn is done. Spring is when most visiting riders come, and this year’s has already run. Counting only licence-free events that took place between February and May, the island’s whole spring calendar was 3 rides long. The federation publishes next year’s dates in the winter, and they will follow the same pattern.

One is the federation’s own march on the Day of the Balearic Islands, one is a coastal club’s march out of Son Servera, and the third is the 312. If you are here in March you can ride the first two on a normal entry fee and a normal weekend. If you want the third, check when its entries open: it is the one event on this list that sells out.

The Mallorca 312 and the Ironman: entry dates and sold-out status

What the calendar looks like month by month

Much of the racing happens while visitors are here, and visitors cannot enter it. January is the busiest month on the whole calendar with 13 events, and it is also the month the hotels fill with training camps. Put January and February together and you get 26 events — not one of which a visitor could enter. The racing that happens while you are here is racing you watch, or meet coming the other way.

And the four months a visiting rider is actually here — February to May — hold 40 of the 117, of which 5 were licence-free and 3 took place.

Most of the calendar is not on your road. 42 of 117 events use the public road network at all; the other 75 are on the velodrome at Sineu, on closed town-centre circuits, or off-road. So the odds of your Tuesday ride running into a peloton are much lower than a 117-event calendar suggests — and the ones that are on the road are the ones worth checking before you plan a route.

The 312’s morning, against the light and the wind

The organiser sets the gun at 06:30 and the 312’s finish cut-off at 20:40. Here is what that means for daylight on 24 April 2027: first usable light at 06:31, sunrise at 07:00. The field rolls out 1 minute after civil dawn and 30 minutes before the sun is up, on interurban road in the dark, where the traffic rules require a lamp and a reflective garment. At the other end, the cut-off falls 6 minutes after sunset.

The wind here changes with the time of day. The sea breeze takes over between 11:00 and 13:00 in every month of the year, and in April at 12:00. A 312 field that starts at 06:30 gets roughly four and a half hours of calm morning air, and spends them in the mountains. What the wind does, hour by hour →

The federation numbers the 312’s editions too

The Balearic cycling federation registers the race on its own calendar as «XVI MALLORCA 312 OK MOBILITY» — Ciclismo para todos Ciclodep, class M.C.UCI.+H, hosted at Playa de Muro by 312 Bike & Tours Seccio Esportiva. Its numeral for 2026 is XVI. Two of the organiser’s own pages agree with that; an operator selling the 2027 race as "the 18th edition" does not.

Source Federació de Ciclisme de les Illes Balears · checked 3 October 2026The federation numbers each edition because it sanctions the race, which makes it a third source, independent of both the organiser and the operator. Nobody has published the 2027 numeral, so this does not settle it. It does confirm 2026 as XVI, and that is the year the count to 2027 starts from.

Where the events are

The 2026 calendar covers the whole archipelago: 117 of its 162 entries are on Mallorca and 25 are on Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera. The remaining 20 give a venue — a farm, a football ground, a picnic site — that no public gazetteer carries, so they are counted separately and left out of every island figure. The Mallorca numbers are the events that can be placed on Mallorca, and each one can be checked row by row.

How we got this Each place name is resolved to a point, and the event is put on whichever island’s coastline contains that point. Only what the calendar itself marks out is read as a name: the municipality it prints in brackets, the name itself, the name after a comma. A name that resolves nowhere, or to two islands at once, is counted as unplaced and given to neither island.Computed from the place column of every row in the federation calendar, against the island coastlines and the named places OpenStreetMap publishes for the archipelago.Computed 3 October 2026.

6 of the 18 base towns in our guides host at least one federated event, which is useful if you are choosing where to stay for a race weekend. Palma hosts more of them than the rest of the island put together.

For the 312 weekend the town is Platja de Muro and the beds go early — accommodation around the start. For the Ironman it is Alcúdia. A pre-booked airport transfer with a bike box declared is the one thing worth arranging before you fly, and if you are riding an organised event, read your own policy’s exclusions for competitive sport before assuming you are covered — organised events are a common one, and one provider that covers amateur cycling events exists if yours does not. We do not rank or compare insurers.

Gravel events on Mallorca: not on the federation calendar

The federation's own filter offers 23 disciplines and its 2026 season uses 12 of them. Gravel is one of the 11 it offers and did not use, so no gravel event on this island appears on any authority’s list. If you want a gravel event, look at the organisers’ own calendars.

How we got this Both lists are read off the same page in the same request: the filter’s options give the vocabulary, the table’s rows give the usage, and the disciplines in the first list but not the second are the unused ones. Because the full list is published on the same page, anyone can check the gap there.Computed from the discipline list in the federation calendar’s own modality filter, against the modalities its season rows actually carry.Computed 3 October 2026.

In practice, you find a gravel event here on its organiser’s own page or not at all, and those pages go out of date. The Mallorca Gravel Series’ front page still advertises November 28th 2025 while a third-party calendar gives The fall event is scheduled for November 29.. The two do not agree, so ask the organiser before you plan a trip around either date. Where the gravel actually is →
