Test your endurance across 138 kilometers of rolling Tuscan terrain, conquering 10 legendary white gravel sectors before a dramatic final assault into Siena's historic Piazza del Campo.
Starting in the historic city of Siena, Strade Bianche route delivers the definitive gravel road race experience across the rolling hills of Tuscany. Every year on the first weekend of March, thousands of passionate cyclists ride these roads in the official Gran Fondo, taking to the course just one day after the professional peloton. Within minutes of leaving town, smooth tarmac breaks into the open sterrati - the unpaved white dirt roads that cut across the exposed ridges of the Crete Senesi. The early kilometers offer a fast rhythm before hitting key sectors like Bagnaia and the extended gravel climb of San Martino in Grania. Constant rolling profiles, loose stones, and steep ramps test both traction and pacing. As the course loops back toward Siena, the intensity surges over the short, sharp walls of Colle Pinzuto and Le Tolfe, where gradients tip into double digits on sliding gravel. Surviving the final dirt sector leaves one ultimate hurdle: entering the medieval walls of Siena via the brutal, stone-paved climb of Via Santa Caterina. Pitching up to 16 percent, it demands every last effort from tired legs before plunging through narrow alleyways onto the iconic bricks of Piazza del Campo.
