Cycling & running events in Vic-Manlleu, 2026

Vic-Manlleu Training Notes

Running: Locals run Manlleu like a small, tough training base. Club Olímpic Manlleu sits at the heart of it, with Córrer per Córrer Manlleu, Sant Silvestre de Manlleu, and Cursa Festa Major in the local rhythm. The river Ter route runs 15mi and gains just +46f. The river route runs 06km with 55m of gain past Resclosa de la Teula and Pasarela Sobre El Ter. Runners here like fons, long races, and legs of wood.

Cycling: Riders get the good stuff near Manlleu fast. Gravel Collsacabra - Vall de Sau does the honest work, because the route runs 92km and stacks +1700m of elevation near Manlleu. Locals call that a very nice route, very recommendable, and they are right. Club Olímpic Manlleu, CEC Calldetenes, CET Taradell L’Enclusa, and CET Torelló keep the event culture alive around Osona. Marxa Cicloturista Josep Jufré Riuprimer - Curta and Marxa Cicloturista Jufré Riuprimer give the road crowd an anchor. Matagalls, Collserola, and Montseny put the climbing mood in the background.

Season: The brief does not pin down clean best months, so locals read the terrain and the calendar. Summer gets hot, but one rider finished Gravel Collsacabra - Vall de Sau in a heatwave and said the morning was still good. Runners keep short river work useful then, with Cursa 5k FM Manlleu 2025 as interval fuel and Highway to Health as Z2. Cyclists start early when the day looks hot and save the bigger Collsacabra work for better legs. Winter changes the feel, because Caminada Nocturna d'Osona puts people under moonlight and the scene turns more steady than flashy.
