Among the sponsors of this edition are: the Dunas Hotels & Resorts chain which thus reinforces its commitment to sport, healthy living and the island territory.
" "For Dunas Hotels "It's a pride to support an event that showcases the best of southern Gran Canaria at an international level and that promotes values such as hard work, sustainability, and love for our land," says a physiotherapist from the hotel group, who emphasized that "we are prepared to welcome athletes and their families with the best hospitality, right in the heart of where the event takes place." The 2025 edition will once again count towards the UCI calendar (category S2) and will take place between May 15 and 18. The 2025 routes will once again cover different types of terrain where participants will have to demonstrate their skills on faster and more technical sections.
