ABOUT EL PIRI
El Piri is a Self-supported bikepacking adventure, from the ancient city of Girona to the wild natural parks of the Catalan Pyrenees, and back again.
El Piri is short for L’esperit del Pirineus, Catalan for ‘the spirit of the Pyrenees’. The logo is inspired by our family dog Piri; a Catalan sheep dog, who’s fun, energetic and adventurous nature embodies the spirit we seek for the event. He loves nothing more than being outside and free in the mountains.
El Piri offers a fun but achievable challenge – but we are not saying it’s always easy! This route will really show you the true wild nature of the Catalan Pyrenees. While previous riders have commented it was tough at points, the second edition of El Piri in 2025 had a 78% finish rate. We want people to go on a fun and fulfilling adventure, stepping beyond their comfort zone and deepening their love of the sport.

CATALUNYA
From the vibrant cities of Barcelona and Girona; to the long sandy beaches of the Costa Brava and up to the wild and untouched mountain peaks of the Pyrenees; Catalunya has it all.
Catalunya is an autonomous community, located in the Northeast of Spain. It has its own language, strong culture and welcoming people.
Home to some of Spain’s best national parks, it’s a haven of incredible fauna and flora, from soaring vultures to wild bears, and more recently the elusive lynx. The Catalan Pyrenees is a protected wilderness, offering a true untouched experience.
Join us and experience Catalunya like never before - in the heart of its best wild landscapes, powered by your own energy!
