Course Options
Choose the distance that matches your ambition. All routes start from District 5 towards Sokhna road:

50 KM – A rewarding ride for those new to endurance cycling or looking for a shorter challenge.
90 KM – A balanced course for intermediate riders seeking to push their limits.
150 KM – The flagship route, designed for experienced cyclists ready to take on the toughest test including a 10KM timed race on Galala Climb.
All routes are fully supported with aid stations, medical coverage, and volunteers to ensure safety and support throughout your ride.

Special Feature: The 10K Galala Climb Segment
For 150K riders, get ready for a timed 10K segment on the legendary Galala Climb:

The segment begins after approximately 110K into the ride.
Riders must pass through start and finish gates for their segment to be recorded.
The segment will be timed by the MYLAPS system using chips provided in your kit the day before the event.
Age group and overall winners will be determined based on the climb segment only.
This is your chance to test yourself against one of Egypt’s most iconic climbs!

More Than A Ride!
The Galala Challenge is more than just a cycling event—it’s a celebration of sport, sustainability, and community. Whether you’re riding to win, chasing a personal best, or simply enjoying the road, you’ll be part of an experience that inspires, connects, and motivates.
