OVERVIEW 2026 COMING SOON

VolCAT by SCOTT 2026 will take place at Easter on 3-4-5 April.

An adventure shared once again this year by hundreds of people from more than 20 countries around the world. For some, it is a race to score UCI points and battle to conquer one of the most emblematic stage MTB podiums. For others, it is a challenge in which enjoyment, passion and the desire for personal improvement lead them to pedal until they cross the finish line and finish one of the historic events on the calendar.

A real spectacle of pure mountain biking.

STAGE 1

IGUALADA

XCO UCI C3 CATEGORY

DISTANCE : 42,1 km

LEVEL | 933 mD+

The party begins with a physical and technical day that will test the participants’ ability to dose their strength. The day will be spent almost entirely on trails of all kinds, with demanding ascents and descents. With an explosive start, the runners will have to know how to save their energy for a second half which, although gentler, will also require a considerable effort.

RACE CUT OFF
The organization reserves the right to withdraw any cyclist riding at a pace of less than 10 km/h, regardless of the point at which the cyclist is found.

The magic of the Territorio Panna returns, the territory of the flow par excellence in an unprecedented route through spaces of spectacular beauty such as the Torrent de l’Infiern. A first rolling part from Igualada to Sant Martí de Tous until reaching the first refreshment station for the teams, and from this point it will be a non-stop fast trails through shady pine and oak forests where you will have to drive carefully to control the high pace that allows this territory. On the way back to Igualada you will have to save your strength to be able to ride fast on the tracks that will take you to the finish line!

STAGE 2

IGUALADA

CATEGORY: Regional Marathon

DISTANCE: 62,68 km

SLOPE: 1555 mD+

The second day will offer a longer stage, with the start and finish sharing the same flat stage. Despite the first impressions, the quadriceps will soon start to accumulate positive elevation gain, although in this case the climbs will be more spread out in an almost constant seesaw throughout the route.

As the kilometres go by, the riders will find themselves on a loop of trails that will captivate and allow them to enjoy real mountain biking to the full.

RACE CUT OFF
The organization reserves the right to withdraw any cyclist riding at a pace of less than 10 km/h, regardless of the point at which the cyclist is found.

The stage of pure MTB, the old school mountain bike with a non-stop up and down, trails, trials, rocks, roots and lots of fun. The essence of VolCAT 20 years represented in 38km. Technique, position on the bike and a lot of waist to overcome at a good pace this wonderful ride through the Carme mountain range that will leave you with a good taste of the VolCAT Experience!
