Description
La Rapaillou, the accessible format of the L’Ariégeoise cyclosportive
La Rapaillou is the ideal route to discover the L’Ariégeoise cyclosportive:
92 km and 2,200 m of elevation gain, on a mountain course accessible to many types of riders.
It can become:
-
a personal challenge,
-
a shared goal with friends,
-
a sporting objective with colleagues,
-
or simply the must-ride course in 2026 to experience the atmosphere of the event.
The bunch of 1,000 riders will start from Tarascon-sur-Ariège at 7:45 a.m. sharp.
To sum up the route:
-
the first 20 km are fast and rolling up to the foot of the castle of Foix,
-
then the road kicks up with one of the longest climbs in the Pyrenees: nearly 32 km of ascending towards the Col du Portel via the Col de Péguère from Foix,
-
after the descent to Biert, the road climbs again towards a superb Ariège col, the Port de Lers, via the village of Massat.
Get ready for La Rapaillou: a punchier format than the longer routes, but still a true mountain challenge—tough, demanding and spectacular—right in the heart of the Ariège Pyrenees.
