Startline Bursary 2026 Application
Thanks for your interest in the Startline Bursary for El Piri 2026. Please read about the bursary BELOW before submitting your application.
The bursary is to help enable access to our bikepacking events for more people from under-represented backgrounds. To qualify for the bursary, you need to be from an under-represented group and would otherwise not be able to financially afford to come to our events. Under-represented groups in bikepacking include but are not limited to: women, ethnic minorities, non-binary, transgender. If you feel you are from an under-represented group, but do not fall into one of these groups, please tell us why in your application. To maximise the impact of the bursary, we are looking for applications from people within Europe.

Free entry place to El Piri 2026, covered by L’esperit del Bikepacking
Contribution up to €200 to cover travel and accommodation costs to help get you to the start line, covered by Tailfin
