5 Miles Tentudía Bike 2026

The 5 Miles Tentudía Bike is a mountain-bike race held in Cabeza la Vaca, a village in Badajoz within the Sierra de Tentudía. It is featured on Extremadura’s cycling calendar and typically attracts a few hundred participants, offering categories for Elite, Master, Junior, Sub-23, and Cicloturista riders. Race-day arrangements are simple: bib collection occurs early in the morning before a 09:00 start, with entry fees varying for federated and non-federated cyclists. The event is organized by Puerto Lobo, identified as both Club Deportivo Puerto Lobo and Club Ciclista Puerto Lobo in official documents, with some editions receiving public backing. Approximately 280 cyclists participated in the sixteenth edition, which took place after a one-year hiatus. A subsequent edition was canceled when fewer than 40 riders registered less than a month before the deadline, even with an early-bird discount and a planned limit of 400 participants. The cancellation notice highlights the operational planning involved: medals, apparel, prizes, trophies, signage, and support items were all pre-ordered before organizers could confirm sufficient participant numbers.
