The XXX Vuelta Ciclista al Norte de Gran Canaria will return this coming July, establishing itself as a key event to restore sporting tradition and promote healthy habits on the island.

The Government of the Canary Islands has highlighted the importance of this event, emphasizing that the return of the race not only benefits cycling but also reinforces the role of sport as a tool for social cohesion and public health. The competition, which has deep roots in the north of Gran Canaria, seeks to reconnect the population with the natural environment through cycling.
The regional administration has emphasized the potential of the islands as a privileged setting for the sports industry. The goal is to consolidate sport not only as a healthy practice but as a sector capable of generating wealth, employment, and international visibility for the Canary Islands.

"Recovering this race means recovering a part of our sporting memory and returning to the calendar an event that helped build the cycling culture that remains so alive in the Canary Islands today."
