Mallorca 312 2027: date, entries and resale
The Mallorca 312 is a mass-participation gran fondo on Saturday 24 April 2027, starting between 06:30 and 07:00 in Platja de Muro. Riders choose between 312 km (around 4,600 m), 226 km (around 3,800 m) or 167 km (around 2,500 m). General registration opened at 11:00 on 6 October 2026 and sold out the same day. If you missed it, the realistic ways in are the official resale Marketplace (1 December 2026 to 31 March 2027), the waiting list, or a registration-plus-accommodation package.

What the Mallorca 312 is
The Mallorca 312 OK Mobility Gran Fondo is Europe's most established early-season mass participation cycling event. Every year in late April, 8,500 cyclists converge on the north-east coast of Mallorca to ride one of three distances over closed or controlled roads — climbing into the Serra de Tramuntana, traversing the Cap de Formentor peninsula on the longest route, and finishing back at Platja de Muro.
It's not a race in the competitive sense — there's no prize for winning — but it is timed, and the mid-pack field is genuinely strong. Completing the full 312 in under 12 hours is a respected benchmark. Under 10 hours puts you in the upper group.

Elevation figures are approximate and come from recent editions. The organiser had not published 2027 profiles by 29 October 2026 (the GPX downloads were still the 2025 files), so check the official route pages before planning.
Why the 312 sells out instantly
General registration for 2027 opened at 11:00 on 6 October 2026 and sold out the same day, just as the 2026 edition did on 7 October 2025. The reasons are structural: Mallorca is the dominant early-season cycling destination in Europe, late April is exactly when serious recreational cyclists are peaking for spring events, and the 312 is the only gran fondo of this scale on the island.
How to still get in for 2027 if you missed registration
The official Marketplace
The organiser runs its own resale Marketplace, and it is the only permitted way to transfer a place. For 2027 it is open from 1 December 2026 to 31 March 2027. Riders who cannot go put their entry up for sale, and when a place comes up, the buyer has 30 minutes to complete registration and payment. Places appear without warning, so check often, especially in the first weeks.
Waiting list and packages
The official site has a waiting list for 2027, and links to registration-plus-accommodation packages and a paid VIP entry. Both are worth checking before you look anywhere else.
Tour operator packages
Several UK and European cycling tour operators hold reserved places within their all-inclusive Mallorca 312 packages — the most reliable fallback once public registration closes. These packages typically include flights, hotel (usually 5 nights), bike mechanical support, event registration, and shared transfers. Operators that have sold packages in past editions include Sports Tours International, Stuart Hall Cycling, Sportive Breaks and Love Velo; check that the package you book includes a confirmed entry for 2027. Prices run from around £1,000 to £2,500 per person depending on hotel tier, flights and season.
These sell out too, but later than public registration — a well-timed booking in November or December often still finds availability.
Charity and sponsor places
A small number of places are reserved for charity partners and event sponsors. If you can fundraise for a partner charity (changes year to year — check the event site) or you have a relationship with one of the main sponsors (OK Mobility, bike brand partners), enquire directly.
Unofficial resale
Don't. Entries are personal, bibs are collected in person with ID, and a place that has not gone through the official Marketplace will be refused at bib pickup. Offers on cycling forums and social media are the most common way riders lose money on the 312.
Planning for 2028
If 2027 is out, aim for 2028. Registration opens in the first week of October the year before the event: 7 October 2025 for 2026, 6 October 2026 for 2027. For 2028, expect early October 2027. Set a calendar reminder, be online at the exact moment the registration portal opens, and have your details pre-filled in the registration platform.
Places typically allocate within hours. A fully-prepared signup (personal details ready, payment card ready, federation licence number ready if required) is the difference between getting in and missing out.
Who the 312 is for
Honest framing: the full 312 km is a serious endurance effort. 4,600+ metres of climbing in one day, 12+ hours in the saddle for most finishers, and the last 100 km on tired legs after Cap de Formentor and Sa Calobra. It's not a first-ever gran fondo.
- Full 312 km: experienced endurance cyclists with previous 200+ km rides under their belt and consistent 10–15 hour training weeks.
- 226 km: strong recreational cyclists who've completed several gran fondos. Still hard, but achievable on moderate training volume.
- 167 km: the accessible option. Any cyclist who regularly rides 100 km+ can complete this with training — think of it as an extended long ride, not an epic.
If you're uncertain which distance, start with the 167 in your first year. The 226 and 312 will still be there next year, and you'll have calibrated your legs against the actual course.
Practical tips if you are riding
Arrive early in the week
Bib pickup is at the EXPO on Avenida s'Albufera 33 in Platja de Muro, on Thursday 22 and Friday 23 April 2027 from 09:00 to 21:00. You collect it yourself, with ID; nobody can pick it up for you. Many riders arrive Wednesday, ride an easy 50–70 km on Thursday, attend the briefing and pasta dinner Friday, and race Saturday. A full week includes a rest day Sunday and a light spin Monday before flying home.
Accommodation
Platja de Muro and nearby Port d'Alcúdia are the logistical choice — you can roll from the hotel to the start line. Alcúdia is slightly further; Port de Pollença is 15 km north, which is a cold 20-minute ride at 05:30 on race morning. Hotel prices spike 50–100% for the 312 weekend; book when you get confirmation of your place. The cycling hotels on our Mallorca stay page are in Port de Pollença and Palma.
What to pack
- Helmet (mandatory under Spanish law on interurban roads regardless, and required for the race).
- Front and rear lights (the start boxes go between 06:30 and 07:00, so the first stretch is in twilight).
- Arm warmers and a gilet — it can be 10°C at the start and 22°C by afternoon.
- Three full bottles if you carry them. Feed stations are frequent but can be busy.
- Real food. Many riders under-eat at the feeds; bring bars or gels you know work for you.
- Spare tubes, pump, multitool. Mechanical support is available but not instant.
Feed stations
The event provides multiple feed stations along the course with water, isotonic drinks, fruit, sandwiches and energy bars. Service is generally good, though queues can form at the busiest stops. Don't plan to fuel exclusively off feeds — bring emergency calories.

Is the Mallorca 312 2027 sold out?
Yes. General registration opened at 11:00 on 6 October 2026 and sold out the same day. The ways in now are the official Marketplace (1 December 2026 to 31 March 2027), the waiting list on the official site, and registration-plus-accommodation or tour-operator packages.
How much elevation gain is the Mallorca 312?
The full 312 km route includes approximately 4,600 m of elevation gain. The 226 km route has around 3,800 m, and the 167 km route around 2,500 m. All three routes cross the Serra de Tramuntana and share the core climbs.
What is the fastest Mallorca 312 time?
The fastest finishers complete the 312 km in around 9 hours (moving time around 8 hours). The typical "strong club rider" time is 10–11 hours. Most first-time finishers come in between 12 and 14 hours. The event is timed but not competitive in the elite-racing sense.
When does registration for 2028 open?
Registration opens in the first week of October the year before the event: 6 October 2026 for the 2027 edition. For 2028, expect early October 2027. Places sell out the same day, so be online at the exact opening time with your details pre-filled.
Do I need a cycling licence for the Mallorca 312?
Not necessarily. Riders without a Spanish federation (RFEC) licence pay for one-day insurance when they register, which was €15 for 2027. Check the specific conditions on the official site when you enter.
Should I ride the 312 or the 226?
Ride the 226 if you're uncertain. The 312 is a genuine endurance test — 4,600 m of climbing with the last 100 km after Cap de Formentor and Sa Calobra on tired legs. The 226 is the sensible "challenging but not epic" option for strong recreational cyclists. You can always target the 312 next year.
