Mazda Signature Ride

Antioquia · Colombia · organised by La Ruta Colombia
When
Late March — first edition ran March 2026
Distances
89 · 127 km
Climbing
2,600 m

A gran fondo through the mountains north-east of Medellín, climbing through Barbosa, Girardota, Santo Domingo and Cisneros with three timed mountain primes on the long route. The 127 km option carries 2,600 m of Andean climbing and some fast technical descending. It first ran in March 2026, so it is not yet an established annual fixture.

The organiser hasn’t published the next date yet, so we’re showing when it normally runs rather than guessing. The official site will have it first.

Checked against the organiser’s official site on 5 September 2026. Dates, routes and entry conditions change — confirm on the official site before booking flights or accommodation. We are not the organiser and take no entries.
