Mallorca 312 training plan 2027

Saturday 24 April 2027, Platja de Muro. 312 km with 5,050 m of climbing on closed roads.

In short

Give yourself 16 to 20 weeks for the Mallorca 312 on Saturday 24 April 2027, which means starting between early December and early January. The full route is 312 km with 5,050 m of climbing on closed roads, over the Tramuntana mountains and along the west coast, then back across the plains to Platja de Muro, and the clock matters as much as the climbs: in 2026 you had to pass 97 km by 11:20 and 218 km by 16:40 to stay on the 312. Build long rides towards six or seven hours, practise climbing steadily for 20 to 40 minutes at a time, and eat from the start. On WattPlan's model of the course, a rider with an FTP of 230 watts weighing 75 kg rides it in about 13 h 58 min, and takes 6:50 on Coll des Pi at about 155 watts.

The course and its climbs

Your power and time on each climb

Enter your FTP and weight and WattPlan's route model rides the course for you the way a long day is best ridden: harder on the climbs, where a watt buys the most speed, and easier on the flat, at an effort you can hold to the finish. The figures below are for 230 W and 75 kg until you do.

How long to train for the Mallorca 312

Sixteen to twenty weeks of structured training suits most riders for the full 312, which means starting between early December and early January for 24 April. The 226, with 3,973 m of climbing, and the 167, with 2,475 m, need about twelve. One entry covers all three, and you can change distance during the ride as long as you are inside the cut-offs.

Most of those weeks fall in a British winter, so expect long indoor sessions and cold weekend rides before a spring day in Mallorca. WattPlan builds the weeks from today to 24 April around the days you can ride, runs the indoor sessions on a smart trainer in the app, and adjusts the plan when a week goes wrong.

The cut-offs decide your day

The 2026 road book set three cut-offs on the 312: the turn-off above Esporles at 97 km by 11:20, the split by Sa Pobla at 218 km by 16:40, and Artà at 285 km by 19:55. Every feed has a latest passing time as well. Under the 2027 rules the finish closes at 20:40, 14 hours 10 minutes after the 06:30 start. We'll update these times when the 2027 road book is out.

Those times include your stops. From a 07:00 start, reaching 97 km by 11:20 takes an average of about 22.4 km/h, with Coll de Femenia and the Puig Major on the way. The calculator above rides the course for your FTP and weight on your own: in the big groups of a closed-road ride you will be quicker on the flat and rolling roads, so its time is on the cautious side. If its time to 97 km is close, keep the early feeds short.

The organiser marks the first two cut-offs as the points where the routes divide, and a rider below the minimum pace is out of the event. Plan the 312 as a ride you could finish on a shorter route if the morning goes slowly.

The Tramuntana climbs

The climbing is packed into the first 150 km. Coll de Femenia from Pollença is 9 km at 5%. The road then rolls past Lluc to the Gorg Blau reservoir and the Puig Major, the highest point of the route, where the organiser's timed segment from Gorg Blau to the top is 5 km at 5.3%. After the descent to Sóller come Coll d'en Bleda (4.2 km at 4.9%), Coll de sa Pedrissa (6.5 km at 4.7%) and Coll d'en Claret (2.8 km at 4.6%), then Coll des Pi and Coll de sa Gramola on the west coast, Galilea (4.7 km at 6.1%) and Coll des Grau above Puigpunyent.

The gradients are steady, mostly 4 to 6% on average; the difficulty is the length and the repetition. Train with sustained climbs of 20 to 40 minutes at an even effort, seated, and practise eating while you climb. The second half, across the plains to Artà, is flatter, so save something for it.

Closed roads, tunnels and the rules

The roads are closed to traffic section by section and reserved for riders, with the Guardia Civil, local police, Civil Protection and motorcycle marshals on the course. The rules warn that tunnels on the route may not be lit, so small front and rear lights are worth carrying.

Only conventional road bikes with brakes on both wheels are allowed: no time trial bikes, extensions or electric bikes, and a helmet is compulsory. Riders must be over 18, or over 15 with written consent from a parent or guardian, and private support vehicles are not allowed.

Fuelling over 312 km

The 2026 road book has feeds at Gorg Blau (50 km), Sa Bastida (101 km), Coll des Pi (114 km), Es Capdellà (137 km), Sa Granja (158 km), Lloseta (194 km), Ariany (244 km) and Artà (285 km). Eat every 45 minutes from the start, around 60 grams of carbohydrate an hour and more on the long climbs if your stomach allows, and drink to the conditions.

Entering and travelling

Entry is €169.99, including the official jersey, plus €15 for insurance if you don't hold a Spanish federation licence; a British Cycling licence doesn't exempt you. Registration opened on 29 September 2026, and the organiser's site now offers VIP entry, entry with accommodation and a waiting list.

Collect your number in person, with a passport or ID card, on Thursday 22 or Friday 23 April between 09:00 and 21:00 at the Mallorca 312 Expo in Platja de Muro. Palma airport is about 40 minutes away by car.

Your plan to 24 April

WattPlan builds the weeks from today to Saturday 24 April 2027 around the days you can ride, and eases off before the day. Take a rider with 230 W of FTP who rides 3 to 5 hours a week now and has an hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays and up to 6 hours on Saturdays: a 20-week plan starting Monday 7 December 2026 has 9 weeks of base, 5 of build, 5 of peak and 1 of taper. It opens at 4 hours a week and builds to 11, with a longest ride of 6 hours. Pick your own days below to see yours.
