Karolina Migoń, Tobias Kongstad, and Sofia Gomez Villafañe aim to defend their titles at The Traka, a premier gravel racing event in Girona. The stakes are high as this competition reflects the intensity and prestige of off-road racing in Europe.
The Traka has quickly established itself as a benchmark, drawing comparisons to Kansas's Unbound Gravel. With events ranging from 200 to 360 kilometers, it attracts a deep field of competitors vying for points in the Gravel Earth Series and Life Time Grand Prix. This year, Migoń seeks her third consecutive win in the Traka 360, while Kongstad aims for his second title in the same event. On the women’s side, Gomez Villafañe and Annika Langvad represent Specialized Off-road, raising the question of whether they can dominate the Traka 200.
The numbers highlight the challenge ahead: the Traka 200 spans 202 kilometers with an elevation gain of 2,650 meters, while the Traka 360 covers 325 kilometers and 4,150 meters of elevation. With a competitive field and significant rewards, this year’s event promises to be a critical litmus test for riders eyeing the Unbound 200. Who will rise to the occasion in the open men’s 200 race? The excitement builds as the race day approaches.
