SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2026 – Porto Recanati

Meeting time: 9:00 AM · Departure: 9:30 AM

70km - 710m D+

The 5Mila Gravel takes you through Porto Recanati, Recanati, and Loreto—a region known as Le Terre d’Oltre. This isn't a race; it's a guided tour designed to be enjoyed at your own pace alongside fellow riders, with two expert guides leading the way. The official GPX track will be emailed to all registered participants five days before the event.

The route kicks off from Lungomare Lepanto in Porto Recanati. The first 23 kilometers roll flat along the Potenza River bike path—a smooth, easy warm-up to set the tone for the day.

At the foot of Montecassiano, the route tilts upward onto unpaved white roads (strade bianche). Just before Montefano, riders will pull over at Birrificio Laurus, a farm brewpub nestled in the hills, for a refreshment stop featuring unfiltered local craft beer brewed on-site alongside authentic regional flavors.

From Montefano, the course turns downhill toward Passatempo di Osimo, where a gravel bike path leads to Campocavallo and onward to the gates of Recanati. After riding through the historic center of Leopardi’s hometown, the route pushes on toward Loreto and its iconic sanctuary.

Past Loreto, the route heads back toward the coast, opening up to panoramic views of the Conero Riviera and the Adriatic Sea before reaching the seafront of Porto Recanati. Waiting for you at the finish line are your finisher medal and the 5Mila party.

Saturday’s Gravel ride is also the perfect prelude to Sunday’s Granfondo—a chance to spin out the legs on the eve of the main event at your own pace, completely off the clock. If you want to experience both, the Granfondo + Gravel Combo Entry is the ultimate choice.
